Food hubs at schools to end child hunger

• Connect all Mississippi schools with local food hubs for direct, year-round access to purchase local fresh farm-raised foods for Mississippi students; the same for Mississippi prisons;
• Work with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks and local volunteers to develop a year-round voluntary program of outdoor activities at our State Parks and other public lands for wholesome outdoor recreation and activity among local children and youth; promote hunting and fishing among our young people through an official "Take-A-Kid Outdoors" Hunting, Fishing and Outdoors Initiative.
• End Child Hunger in Mississippi. Work with private Mississippi nonprofit organizations, churches, faith-based organizations and local food banks to develop and execute a charitable, private nonprofit strategic plan to make sure no child ever has to go hungry in Mississippi.
