Jackson Mayor Calls for “Month of Miracles” Submissions
JACKSON, Tenn. — Volunteers in Jackson are gearing up for Month of Miracles, an annual event created by the city of Jackson to encourage organizations and individuals to participate in making their community a better place through acts of volunteerism. Month of Miracles helps those same individuals find a volunteer activity to participate in what suits their one-of-a-kind personality and skill sets in hopes that they will continue to assist in the growth and strengthening of the Jackson community for future generations. With more than 50 different organizations and groups volunteering last year, the event was a huge success. “These great acts of volunteerism further confirm why we are the most livable small city in America – it‘s our people,” Jackson Mayor Jerry Gist said. “I challenge you to support and help grow this new city tradition, which is our own unique way of observing National Volunteer Month.” Residents are encouraged to help identify worthwhile projects that need volunteers. A new website has been launched for the Month of Miracles that allows people to submit project ideas online starting February 15. Last year, projects ranged from home repair and yard work to putting new shoes on the feet of children. Please help the City of Jackson uncover needs that aren‘t being met by submitting a project to www.miraclesinjackson.com. Projects will be reviewed between February 15 and February 28.
