Red Cross also offers free disaster trainings for volunteers, health and safety classes and SAF (Service to Armed Forces), which provides assistance to military families.​
The Boys and Girls Club of Washington County teaches life and leadership skills, health and physical education, recreation and cultural enrichment, enhancing the lives of boys and girls toward realizing their full potential. ​
Girl Scouts provides leadership development through hands-on skill building activities that help K-12 girls explore new interest, cultivate positive values, develop a stronger social conscience, build higher self-esteem, access life changing adventures, and gain critical life skills. 
Greenville Renaissance Scholars believes in the future of Greenville and providing foundational opportunities to young people in and around Greenville. Our mission is to inspire, motivate, and prepare students to succeed on a college track through academic enrichment, college planning, leadership training, arts programming, and community experiences.  We empower our Scholars to dream, think, and act big. 
The Fuller Center for Housing is a non-profit organization formed for the purpose of creating decent, affordable housing for those in need in Leland, Mississippi, within the bounds of Leland School District and to make shelter a matter of conscience with people everywhere.
United Way Housing Initiative offers voluntary assistance for minor exterior repairs to a limited number of homes owned by low-income senior citizens.
Since 1986 the mission of Community Counseling Center has been to help individuals, couples and families get through tough times, regardless of their ability to pay. No insurance is No problem, as many people are eligible for and choose to utilize our affordable sliding scale fee. Private insurance and Employee Assistance Program plans are welcomed, too.  Experienced Master’s Level and Licensed Professional Counselors provide help in comfortable office settings.
Sacred Space is a transition house that gives men a place to start over after being in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility or prison. We can house around twenty men at any given time. Sacred Space is also a nightly shelter for those that don't have a place to go. We house an average of fifteen to twenty each night and provide light meals for them. Sacred Space also serves a community meal each Tuesday night that allows many local churches and groups to donate or serve. Over two hundred meals are served each Tuesday night.
The Hodding Carter Memorial YMCA focuses on areas such as youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors. We have been a vital part of the Greenville community for a number of years. We have continued to grow with the help of our donors and volunteers that make our mission possible. Through all these years our purpose still remains the same: to build a strong community.
Delta Health-The Medical Center Medication Assistance Program provides uninsured, qualifying residents with necessary prescriptions and with referral to appropriate community programs for long term management. ​
Delta Nature and Learning Center Amanda and Jon Delperdang came separately to the Delta in 2013 with Teach for America. They fell in love with the area and each other! While working in various educational capacities they noticed a need for more outdoor play and creative opportunities for kids. As parents of two children, they decided more could be done for kids and their families in the Mississippi Delta. In 2019 they purchased 30 acres and started the Mississippi Delta Nature and Learning Center. In 2021 the Community Foundation of Washington County gave the organization a grant to develop the Heart and Soul Children's Garden. ​
