JACKSON, Wyo. — Jackson Cupboard is up and running at a new location after a flood forced the food pantry to relocate two months ago.
Located off of Gill Ave behind Teton Barber and Wyoming Workforce, the new location will offer a wide variety of produce, dairy, proteins and non-perishable household items. Additionally, it will serve the community with an online order format.
Through a platform called SmartChoice, shoppers can place advance orders selecting from a wide range of groceries and household items and schedule a pick-up appointment during drive-through or walk-up hours.
Seasonal produce is available as well as personal care and household items donated through St. John’s Episcopal Church’s Blue Bag Drive.
“The rising cost of groceries, services and gas is putting an increasing strain on individuals and families in our community. The Jackson Cupboard serves as an opportunity for folks to balance their grocery needs and monthly budgets,” said One22 Resource Center Executive Director Sharel Lund.
“More people in our community need food assistance and continue to access One22’s other financial resources including rent and childcare assistance, youth activity scholarships, and a new first/last/deposit program.”
A selection of 20 staples, including fresh produce, milk, eggs, items from Hole Food Rescue, and non-perishable items, remains available for immediate needs at the Jackson/Teton County Recreation Center during its regular open hours.
“We are grateful for a community that always shows up to help, volunteer and provide resources to One22 and our clients,” said Nastassia Cruz, One22 Resource Center Volunteer Manager. “A core group of volunteers was critical in meeting needs over the last two months at the Rec Center. They re-stocked multiple times per day and kept this essential service available for so many, and we appreciate each of their time and efforts.”
