Jackson, Miss. – April 1, 2026USA Pawn is proud to announce $94,000 in charitable donations to two Mississippi organizations making a meaningful impact across the state.

These organizations play a critical role in protecting children, supporting victims, and strengthening communities in partnership with law enforcement.

“We’re proud to serve communities across Mississippi, and giving back is a responsibility we take seriously. Every day, we see the challenges people face, especially our veterans and first responders, and we believe it’s our role to step up and support the organizations working on the front lines. These partnerships allow us to extend that impact far beyond our stores.

The donation presentation was attended by Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, who emphasized the importance of community partnerships.“We are grateful for generous partners like USA Pawn who believe in strengthening the communities in which they do business, serving their neighbors, and expanding opportunities for those who need them most,” said Attorney General Lynn Fitch.

Supporting Victims, Strengthening Communities

For more than 15 years, the Mississippi Center for Police and Sheriffs (MSCPS) has provided shelter, safety, and outreach services to individuals experiencing homelessness and victims of violent crime, including survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.

Through programs such as Warrior Cottages for Veterans, emergency housing initiatives, and community partnerships, MSCPS works to meet basic needs like food, shelter, and safety, while addressing the root causes of homelessness and reducing the need for law enforcement intervention.

Protecting Children Through Coordinated Care

The Mississippi Children’s Advocacy Center (MSCAC), founded in 1990 and fully accredited by the National Children’s Alliance, delivers a trauma-informed response to child abuse cases across central Mississippi.

Serving children ages 3–17 and their non-offending caregivers, MSCAC provides forensic interviews, family advocacy, case coordination, referrals for specialized care, and prevention education, all at no cost to families.

    In 2025 alone, MSCAC:
  • Served 1,324 children
  • Conducted 409 forensic interviews
  • Delivered more than 1,117 family advocacy services
  • Supported 2,609 children through case management and multidisciplinary collaboration

Through its work, MSCAC helps ensure safety, healing, and justice for vulnerable children across Rankin, Madison, Scott, Simpson, Smith, and Warren counties, with additional services extended to Yazoo and Leake counties.

A Continued Commitment to Mississippi

USA Pawn, serving Jackson and surrounding communities, remains committed to investing in initiatives that create safer, stronger communities across the state.

Managing Partner Nick Fulton said “In our business, everything starts with people. We work hard to be a trusted resource in the communities we serve, and that commitment goes beyond transactions. Supporting veterans, first responders, and vulnerable families isn’t just something we do; it’s part of who we are.

When we invest in these organizations, we’re investing in stronger, safer communities for everyone.”
