Basic needs & local support
AJFC - Hazlehurst office
A community-action contact listed by MDHS for Copiah County. Ask about energy-bill help and referrals for other basic needs; confirm current programs and availability with the agency.
Each church keeps its own leadership. Each neighbor chooses whether to take part.
Four steps to shared service
Listen first. Ask what the person or provider needs. Let them name the goal.
Choose one small task. Ask the provider what help it can use. A public listing does not mean a team or activity is accepted.
Agree before making plans. The provider and willing church leaders agree on roles, timing, requirements, access needs and any costs. Use the provider's own volunteer process.
Check that it helped. Ask the host, and the neighbor if they wish, whether the agreed help was useful. Give any unfinished step one responsible person.
Keep people’s documents, financial details and stories private. Offer MTA learning separately and voluntarily; help must not depend on joining a church or class.
For local government & community teams
Connect people with a clear next step.
Use public services for immediate needs. Offer MTA’s Christian financial education separately and voluntarily.
