\u201cCommunity engagement is a big priority for us and one of the seven core values we live by each and every day,\u201d said Ole Miss Athletics Director,\u00a0Ross Bjork.\u00a0 \u201cWe feel for the people of Columbia and when families and communities in Mississippi suffer a setback, we want to help to the best of our ability.\u00a0 We have asked the Ole Miss family to fill our football equipment trailer with supplies and items of need before and we are asking them to step up once again.\u00a0 A service-minded leadership approach is what we are all about and it is our pleasure to give to the people of Columbia so they can continue to put their community and homes back together.\u201d<\/p>\n
