In a state already struggling with high levels of food insecurity, the COVID-19 pandemic has deepened the hunger crisis for many vulnerable Mississippians. But with help from Entergy Mississippi, Extra Table has been able to provide more food for those in need.

Gene Woolsey, senior lineman, thought he had worked through every type of power emergency possible in his 39 years at Entergy Mississippi. He’s restored power outages caused by hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, ice storms, extreme temperatures, flooding, lightning, fires, animals and cars. A pandemic is not one of the situations he expected to include on that list. Yet, throughout COVID-19, he is among those on the front lines keeping power flowing.
