Our upcoming 16th Annual Gobble Wobble Food Drive & Bridge Run presented by Scarlet Pearl CARES and Harrison County Board of Supervisors is Saturday, November 22, and we are excited to see what the future holds for our fall service project! Please and thank you!

This year’s collection of food (which is part of your registration) will benefit Second Mile Food & Clothing Pantry, a ministry provided by First Baptist Church Biloxi! This takes a lot of planning and securing of resources. We have been promoting for at least two months.

However, organizers often do feel antsy, and this year is hopefully an exception being that the project is falling on the heels of β€œeveryone else” already opening free food pantries and hosting their own food drives due to the government shutdown. We give it all to God and pray for His blessing as we countdown the days left until this project takes place at Biloxi Bay Bridge in Ocean Springs for the sixteenth consecutive year.

We're honored beyond words...

The Ms. Senior World Pageants chose MCARDD as one of their charity partners this year, and we're still processing what that means for the families we serve.

Every vote cast in their People's Choice and Most Photogenic competitions directly supports our mission to provide comprehensive care, resources, and answers to families navigating autism. These aren't abstract donations. This is real support that translates into assessments, therapy sessions, parent training, and guidance for families who desperately need it.

Here's what makes this partnership so powerful: the Ms. Senior World Pageant celebrates women who embody strength, grace, and service.

They chose to align with an organization that fights for families who often feel invisible in a system that wasn't built for them. That alignment matters. It says something about who they are and what they value.

To the organizers, delegates, and everyone voting: thank you for seeing our families. Thank you for recognizing that autism support isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Thank you for using your platform to create real change in our community.

Voting is open until midnight on Sunday, November 9th. Every $5 vote helps us serve more families, expand our programs, and show up for kids who need us.

Want to support this incredible partnership? Vote here:

You can vote unlimited times for multiple delegates. Winners will be announced at Finals Night on Saturday, November 15th.

And if you want to attend the festivities:
πŸ“ Queens Masquerade Dinner & Party: Wed. 11/12, 5:00 PM
πŸ“ Preliminaries: Fri. 11/14, 6:00 PM
πŸ“ Finals: Sat. 11/15, 6:00 PM

Get your tickets at www.seniorworldpageants.com/tickets before they're gone.

To the MS Senior World Pageant: you didn't just choose a charity. You chose families who will remember this moment as the one where their community showed up for them. That's everything.

Your Vote Changes Lives for Families Fighting Autism 🧩

Every vote you cast in our People's Choice and Most Photogenic competitions does more than celebrate incredible women - it changes lives.

This year, a portion of voting proceeds benefits the Mississippi Center for Autism and Related Developmental Disabilities, an organization doing something absolutely remarkable. They're dedicated to providing families with the support, answers, and care they need through every stage of their autism journey.

Think about that for a second. Families navigating autism diagnoses, searching for resources, needing guidance - they're getting the help that changes everything. MCARDD doesn't just offer services. They offer hope, understanding, and a roadmap forward when families need it most.

These aren't just programs. They're lifelines. They're answers. They're the difference between struggling alone and having a community that gets it.

And your $5 vote helps make it happen.

We've partnered with MCARDD because every family deserves support, every child deserves resources, and every parent deserves to know they're not alone in this journey.

Vote unlimited times. Vote for multiple delegates. Make your voice heard. Voting ends at midnight on Sunday, 11/9. Winners will be announced at Finals Night, Saturday, 11/15.
