Jackson EMC recently donated $30,000 to MedLink Georgia to help improve access to essential healthcare services for residents across northeast Georgia.

Through its mobile health unit, MedLink brings healthcare directly into local communities, helping remove transportation barriers for families who may otherwise struggle to receive care.

In addition to the donation, the Jackson EMC Foundation Board of Directors assembled 150 women's health and hygiene kits for residents in Banks County, an area identified as a maternal care desert.

Together, we're helping bridge gaps in healthcare access and supporting healthier communities throughout our service area.

Honoring those who have served!

Jackson EMC recently hosted our annual Veterans Day Breakfast to recognize and thank employees who have served in the U.S. Armed Services.

The celebration also featured a Presentation of Colors by the Empower College & Career Center JROTC and a performance of the National Anthem by Jackson EMC's Brent Cochran.

To all veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice! ❤️🤍💙

Stay away from downed lines ⚡

Storms, vehicle accidents and falling trees can bring power lines to the ground. If you see a downed line, always assume it's energized and dangerous. Staying away could save your life.

Keep these safety tips in mind:
⚠️ Stay at least 35 feet from a downed line
⚠️ Never drive over a downed line
⚠️ If you see a downed line, report it to Jackson EMC
⚠️ Never try to move a downed line

For families in Guadalupe, Guatemala, turning on a light switch for the first time was a moment years in the making. 💡

Four Jackson EMC linemen joined volunteers from other Georgia electric cooperatives to help bring electricity to the remote village. Along the way, they worked alongside residents, overcame challenging terrain and witnessed firsthand the difference reliable electricity can make.

Electric cooperatives are built differently because they’re built to serve the people right here in our communities.

At Jackson EMC, the commitment goes beyond providing electricity. From serving our neighbors and investing in education to giving back through local organizations and community initiatives, our connection to the communities we serve helps guide what we do.

National Co-op Month gives us an opportunity to highlight the many ways cooperation and community go hand in hand.

Helping Local Students Start Strong 💪

Having everyday essentials like toothpaste, deodorant and body wash can help students feel confident at school and ready to learn.

That's why more than 200 Jackson EMC employees worked together to pack and deliver 4,000 hygiene kits to students at 42 local schools. Employees contributed more than 350 volunteer hours sorting supplies, assembling kits and delivering them throughout Jackson EMC's service area.

The Cooperative Difference: The Power Belongs to You 🫵

October is National Co-op Month, which is a great time to celebrate what makes your Jackson EMC membership different.

Jackson EMC is a not-for-profit electric cooperative. That means you're more than a customer – you're a member. Being locally owned by members means we have the flexibility to focus on our community.

Have you ever wondered what’s the difference between "AUX HEAT" and "EM HEAT" on your thermostat? ♨️
Our residential marketing director Christy Queen answers this question for our member Kellie in Gainesville.

The two settings are related, but they serve different purposes. AUX heat comes automatically when the temperatures are especially cold. EM heat is a manual setting intended only for situations when the heat pump is not working properly.

Safe work takes practice, preparation and teamwork. Jackson EMC linemen put those skills to the test at the 2026 International Lineman’s Rodeo, building on the training they use to maintain reliable electric service and safely restore power for members. ⚡

Eight apprentices and three journeyman teams represented Jackson EMC at the 42nd annual competition in Bonner Springs, Kansas. The event brought together 285 teams and more than 390 apprentices to complete tasks similar to those they may perform on the job, including climbing utility poles, replacing equipment and rescuing an injured worker.
