Events of Wednesday, January 29, 2025

Homeless Count Day.  5:30 AM.  To raise the governmental funds a city needs to take care of its homeless, a city first needs to know how many homeless people it is serving. Join the Jackson community as we take to the streets at 5:30am on Wednesday, January 29th, for the annual PIT (Point-In-Time) Count. We will meet at 1208 Greenwood Church, where you and your group will be handed a map of an area to survey, forms to document the basic information of any homeless person you meet, and some supply bags you can give away. When you’re done, return to the church and drop off your forms and any supplies you have left! Thanks for joining us for this important and eye-opening event! The more that come, the higher the chance we have to find those in need, raise awareness of our homeless community, and bring about the necessary funding our local organizations need to serve them.
