When extreme winter weather disrupted daily life across North Mississippi, Ingalls Shipbuilding stepped in to support neighbors facing limited access to essential supplies.
 
Through the Ingalls Cares initiative, Ingalls partnered with the City of Gulfport Fire Department to donate food and hygiene items to the rural community of Coldwater, Mississippi.

While power has been restored for many residents, ongoing weather impacts prevented food deliveries from reaching local grocery stores, leaving families with few options to purchase basic necessities.
 
The City of Gulfport coordinated and delivered the donations, helping ensure supplies reached community members quickly and safely during a critical time.
