Jackson In Action was recently honored as the 2022 Service Organization of the Year by the Black River Area Chamber of Commerce. We are humbled and honored to receive this recognition. We are thankful for everyone who supports Jackson In Action and our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles in Jackson County.
Jackson In Action is a community coalition founded in 2011 that promotes healthy lifestyles for children, their families and the greater community. Throughout the year, they sponsor and host various events in the community including the Triple Snowshoe Challenge, Jackson County Winter Fest, the Pace and Pedal Duathlon and 5K, Fall Hike Series, Hiking For Fitness, and the Gobbler Giveback 5K. Most of their events are free to participate in! Jackson In Action also puts on the Laces to Leaders program that focuses on building self-confidence in 3rd-5th grade participants, while training for a 5K run.
Jackson In Action also focuses on healthy eating initiatives by providing education at school and community events about Harvest of the Month, which highlights a different fruit or vegetable each month. They also sponsor community nutrition challenges during the year to promote healthy eating, especially for families. Jackson In Action is a supporter of the Jackson County Farmers Market.
Jackson In Action is a designated Wisconsin Active Together Community which recognizes communities that have worked to make it easier for their residents to walk, bike and be active and have made a commitment to continue that work. A new initiative they started recently is the snowshoe checkout program. Residents can check out snowshoes for free during snowy months.
Jackson In Action is an outstanding community organization dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle. We are blessed to have this amazing organization in our community.
