Veterans Day Walk/Ruck/Walk Details

Following the ceremony participants can begin an 11.11 mile walk, ruck march or run through Jackson.

The Jackson Police Department is asking that participants arrive with 35 pounds of non-perishable food (which will be donated to the Jackson Cupboard). Participants can leave this food at the Town Square (or drop it off in a collection box at Town Hall (150 E. Pearl Avenue)). Those who wish to ruck march will carry their donation with them and turn it over to the Jackson Cupboard upon completion.

If you would like to donate food, but do not wish to walk/ruck march/run - please know that you can drop off any amount of non-perishable food items either at the Town Square on November 11th at 11:00am or anytime at the Town Hall.
