Move on Up Mississippi inspires and funds educational youth initiatives focused on health, well being and physical activity.


In 2015, Move On Up was founded by Chef John Currence of Oxford, MS with the desire to improve the lives of children in Mississippi. While recognizing the negative impact of food and housing insecurities on the children of Mississippi, we drive awarenesses of problems and solutions, fund programs, and support change agents to realize a healthier future for all the children of our state.
