Our Projects

The Junior Auxiliary of Starkville currently has 10 active projects that we help facilitate or facilitate on our own. Some projects, like Backpack Project, are a partnership with a community partner while others, like Pantry Project, are completely ran through our organization. We serve well over 1,000+ children in our community each year and strive to reach children and their families in many different ways by evaluating our projects annually to see how they can better serve the community.

JA of Starkville passionately supports the 5th grade kids that are part of the backpack program as an ongoing project. It’s just an added bonus for the kids who receive meals each week to have fresh fruit also sent home with them. Thank you so
