Looking at the NEGA Wellbeing Project Report
The Northeast Georgia Community Needs Assessment was developed through a partnership between the Jackson EMC Foundation and the Wellbeing Project to support positive change in our community. The initiative gathered and organized data from multiple local, state, and national sources by county and topic to gather insights and better understand the needs and priorities of our community. We believe you play a vital role in addressing these challenges within the 10 counties where Jackson EMC members live and work.
