WE’RE ON A MISSION
TO REDUCE FOOD WASTE AND CULTIVATE FOOD SECURITY IN TETON COUNTY, WYoming
our community
food insecurity in
teton county
In the 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment (Healthy Teton County), 9.5% of community members identified as food insecure. Although almost 1 in 10 people acknowledge lacking reliable access to nutritious food, ALICE (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed) is a more comprehensive indicator of the portion of our community facing economic hardship. The ALICE Project, run by United Way, found that an additional 27.8% of Teton County residents fall into the ALICE category. These are families, neighbors, and colleagues who work hard and earn above the Federal Poverty Level, but not enough to afford a basic household budget. Although Jackson Hole is often thought of as being an affluent community, many families struggle with the high cost of living and increasing prices in this mountain town.
OUR forever home
With over 200 volunteers and an ever-growing volume of rescued food, we are determined to do even more for our community. By donating to our capital campaign, you can help us achieve our mission of making a deeper impact.
