Winter Storm Fern Response
Standing With Mississippi After Winter Storm Fern
In late January 2026, Winter Storm Fern moved through Mississippi, bringing severe ice accumulation that heavily impacted communities like Issaquena, Batesville, Rolling Fork, and surrounding areas. The storm downed trees and power lines, damaged infrastructure, and left many families without electricity, heat, or reliable water. Roads became unsafe; schools closed, and access to basic resources quickly became limited.
As recovery efforts continue, many across our state are still facing extended outages, property damage, and uncertainty around what comes next.
How Pinelake Is Helping
Pinelake Church is partnering with trusted relief organizations and local agencies, including MEMA, City Impact and Convoy of Hope, to respond to where needs are greatest. Through these partnerships, we are helping provide water, meals, emergency supplies, and practical support to families affected by Winter Storm Fern. We are also serving alongside local leaders and first responders to help ensure resources are delivered safely and efficiently.
Our heart is to show up in real and tangible ways and to walk with our neighbors through the recovery process.
