A heartfelt THANK YOU to every agency, organization, and community partner who helped make our Community-Wide Baby Shower a success!

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who provided educational resources, giveaways, and door prizes for our families. Your generosity and commitment to supporting parents and children made a lasting impact.

A special thank you to the Florida Department of Health in Jackson County for partnering with us and generously providing your facility, resources, and countless hours of planning. Your collaboration was instrumental to the success of this event.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, Jackson County Emergency Services, our dedicated Board Members, the Marianna Woman’s Club and every volunteer and community partner who gave their time and support.

Because of your partnership, this year's event was a tremendous success. We are grateful for your continued support and look forward to working together to serve even more families in the years to come. 💙

🚨 REMINDER: TRAINING EXERCISE 🚨

Today, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office will participate in a full-scale training exercise at Marianna K-8 School alongside local public safety partners.

You may notice an increased law enforcement and first responder presence in the area. This is only a training exercise. There is no threat to the public.

🚧 If possible, please avoid the area between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to allow the exercise to be conducted safely.

Thank you for your cooperation as we continue training to keep our community prepared.
