The lunch benefits Mississippi Spay and Neuter. The goal was to raise a minimum of $2,500 because that will help supply 200 spay and neuter vouchers to area residents over the next year. Over the previous four years, the money raised through the lunch has gone to support over 800 animal’s spay and neuter surgeries. (Sam Gause / The Natchez Democrat)
