Jackson In Action, the Service Organization of the Year, is a community coalition 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 Winterfest, Pace and Pedal event, Fall Hike Series, Hiking For Fitness, and the Gobbler Give Back 5K. Jackson In Action is in charge of the Laces to Leaders youth program that focuses on building self-confidence while training for a 5K. They also provide education at schools and community events about Harvest of the Month which highlights a different fruit or vegetable each month. They are supporters of the Jackson County Farmers Market and they host family friendly nutrition challenges with prizes for all Jackson County residents. Jackson In Action is also 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.
