Firm's primary sponsorship of the American Red Cross Dine for Disaster Relief campaign and ongoing Macon a Difference Foundation work anchor a year of giving in Tupelo, Jackson and beyond.

July 9, 2026 - Midway through 2026, Mama Justice MW Law Firm marks a significant year of community investment, headlined by its primary sponsorship of the American Red Cross Dine for Disaster Relief campaign, which took place March 22-28 across North Mississippi and North Alabama. Concurrently, the Macon a Difference Foundation, established by founder Missy Mama Justice Wigginton, continues its mission of serving underprivileged youth and impacting disaster survivors, students, and young people statewide.

When it comes to our services, we do everything we can to bring compassion and care to each and every person we interact with, said Missy Mama Justice Wigginton, founding attorney of Mama Justice. My job allows me to be Mama Missy not only to my beloved children and grandchildren but to everyone who needs justice.

Macon a Difference Foundation: Eight Years of Turning Grief Into Action

The Macon a Difference Foundation was created in 2018 following the loss of Wigginton's son, Macon. The flexible nonprofit transforms grief into action, providing support and resources for underprivileged youth. That ethos drives the firm's broader community involvement, including NICU volunteering, Habitat for Humanity builds, Tupelo Humane Society adoption drives, and support for Children's Advocacy Centers of Mississippi, DECA, and SAFE Inc. Women's Shelter. Roughly eight years in, the firm's commitment to giving is deepening, reflecting a sustained dedication to community well-being.

The Foundation is unique in that it is not a one-size-fits-all nonprofit. Built specifically with flexibility in mind, Macon a Difference aims to meet a wide array of needs for underprivileged youth in the community, said Missy Wigginton.
