Who We Are
Central Mississippi, Inc. (CMI) was established in 1965 as a 501©3 non-profit organization that provides assistance to low-income families and individuals in meeting their basic living needs. CMI operates in a seven-county area, which includes Attala, Carroll, Grenada, Holmes, Leflore, Montgomery, and Yalobusha, and maintains its central office in Winona, Mississippi. We are a nonprofit organization that seeks to help out the community in various ways possible.
