Mission

The mission of Jackson Neighbors In Need is to provide assistance to Jackson County residents who do not qualify for assistance from other agencies.

Our mission is accomplished in the following ways:

Heating Assistance

We provide heating assistance for those in need, during the cold winter months from November 1st to March 31st. We will pay the vendor for electricity, propane, oil and/or wood. We also provide space heaters when needed.

“Bump in the Road” Emergency Fund

This fund assists residents who encounter small economic challenges that they are unable to afford.

Hands On Jackson — “Day Of Caring”

We help sponsor this annual Day Of Caring for residents of Jackson County who are in need of assistance with small home repair projects, building a ramp and/or yard cleaning.

Annual Blanket Drive

Blankets are available for people in need starting in December. They are available for pickup at the Department on Aging, Department of Social Services, Sylva’s Mountain Projects office, and the Jackson County Public Library.

For  more information about heating assistance, volunteering, or other services, please call 828.331.7177.
