SUMMARY: Sanctuary Hospice, led by CEO Harold Plunket, seeks volunteers for its joyful environment. It comprises a 24-bed inpatient facility and a home division for patients expected to have less than six months to live. It supports families, enabling loved ones to maintain their roles rather than act as caregivers in the final days. To cover its $1.5 million annual budget, the hospice operates Village Shops requiring volunteers to sort, price, and move items. Shops are open Monday to Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and half-days on Saturdays. Volunteers can sign up by calling the main office or visiting the stores.

The Mississippi Center for Justice highlighted that one-third of homeowners and 53% of renters spend over 30% of their income on housing, identifying a need for 50,000 additional affordable homes. Senator John Horn emphasized challenges in finding starter and workforce housing, particularly for those on limited incomes. He expressed hopes that upcoming legislation in January would address these issues, along with minimum wage concerns, to ensure Mississippians receive a livable wage.
