Teton Valley Food Pantry Inc

What it reported doing in 2024

Our mission statement embodies who we are for teton valley. Not only do we offer supplemental food for those in need, but we also collaborate with many other nonprofits offering healthy snacks for their program participants, as they are experiencing difficulty in supplying snacks. Our personal shopping model offers our neighbors the opportunity to choose the foods they want, instead of just offering a box with items they may or may not like. This offers dignity to our neighbors and provides a fulfilled purpose for our volunteers where they know they are making a big difference in someone's life. Feeding america is our partner in the rescued foods that we get from our local grocery stores. This gives an additional 5000-6000 pounds on average per month to our community. There are no qualifications to receive this food. We see many families coming in multiple times a week to get the rescued foods. We serve over 241 households per week for their supplemental food from the pantry. Many businesses, churches and individuals host a monthly or yearly food drive to offset the costs for us. Weekly we purchase a meat protein, eggs, milk, fresh fruits and vegetable, in addition to healthy snacks for our school children. We have a strong recurring monthly financial donor base. We encourage restaurants and people to donate from their home pantries to offset our costs. Many local farmers grow specifically for the pantry to provide fresh vegetables and fruit throughout the summer. At the end of the weekly farmers market, we visit specific booths that donate their extra produce.
