The Jackson Township Trustees Office provides a wide variety of services to our community. Some of them are detailed as follows:

Township Assistance

Indiana law requires that the township trustees provide essential services to the residents of the township. Because of its “grassroots” structure, the Township Trustee system is designed specifically to quickly meet the financial needs of the individual in an emergency. Apply for assistance here.

External Resources & Links

We have put together a list of most-useful links to access information about assistance from governmental and non-governmental organizations that is freely available for our community.

Burial assistance is available from the Township Trustee when no other means of payment are available. Download the Application Form.
