- Jackson County United Way – Based on the Community Conversations from 2016-2018, Jackson County United Way has been focused on helping the county achieve its aspiration of: becoming a community where people choose to live and one were we work together for solutions for neighbors and generations. In order to do this, we’ve been hosting 3-5 block parties in neighborhoods across the county. The support from this Project Spotlight will create a fun, family friendly event with nearly 1,000 door hangers inviting neighbors, with free food, and games.
