A Weekend in Jackson with Together for Hope

October 21–24, 2026 | Jackson, Mississippi

For 25 years, Together for Hope has worked alongside communities in the Delta, the Black Belt, Appalachia, and across Tribal Nations, Texas, and the Four Corners. This October we would like to show you what that work looks like on the ground. Join us in Jackson for the 25th Anniversary Gala and a guided day in the communities where Together for Hope began.
