JXN-METRO RESOURCES GUIDE

2025 Edition - below is an ever-growing list of resources for families in the Jackson-area

JXN Motherhood aims to be a resource that shares the diverse perspectives of moms and those that serve families in the Jackson area. Our common ground is our love for our families and our deep desire to care for them as we see fit. Our resources are not exhaustive, as Jackson has so much to offer. This is an ever-changing list of resources our moms have collected with time and experience. The views and actions of those we share do not necessarily represent the JXN Motherhood team, but offer a starting place. We reserve the right to share at our discretion.
