Current Food Needs: Stay Tuned!
Mission Statement: The Jackson Cupboard provides essential, nutritious food for our community members in need.
Nuestra Mision Es: La Alacena de Jackson (Jackson Cupboard) ofrece esenciales, alimentos nutritivos para nuestros miembros de la comunidad que lo necesitan.
The Jackson Cupboard is a foodbank that opened its doors in 2001. It is a non-political, non-religious organization. We are proud of the fact that we operate solely by a volunteer board and staff. There are no paid positions. Our foodbank operates off of 100% private donation; we receive no government funding. Last year 95% of monetary donations were used to purchase food for our clientele. In 2014 the Jackson Cupboard had 3,401 visits by people in need of food. We are grateful to the Jackson Hole community and grocery stores for the generosity they have provided. All client information is strictly confidential.
Free Food Friday! Starts every Friday at 10:30 am
Please help Teton County reduce food waste. The public is invited to help us reduce food waste by collecting perishable foods that our clients were not able to use. Grab whatever you will eat, and keep it out of the landfill!
