HANDS OF PROVIDENCE AWARD
The Hands of Providence Award are presented to individuals who demonstrate extraordinary service and commitment to improving the lives of Mississippi's children, youth and families. Providence by definition means, "care, guardianship and control exercised by God". Thus the nominees for this award are those people whose very lives are committed to doing the work of God with children, youth, and families in our communities.
