A Starkville native gives back to community through her food
SUMMARY: Minnie Fox, a 76-year-old chef from Starkville, Mississippi, has been feeding her community for over a decade. She started hosting meals for her birthday at an extension building, but it grew larger and she began hosting it at her home. She has expanded her efforts to connect political leaders and hopefuls with their constituents by cooking for candidate events. Fox’s love for cooking also led her to publish a book. She plans to continue her annual feeding tradition until she feels she’s no longer able, and hopes to pass the torch to someone else.
