Jackson Hole People’s Market
Food Stamp Processing Machine
$800

The Jackson Hole People’s Market will provide an additional resource for members of the community to gather and enjoy local produce. The market will be an alternative option to both producers and customers who are unable to attend the Saturday morning farmers market. Through a partnership with First Interstate Bank, the market will provide fresh food and produce to low income community members through the Wyoming Food Stamps Program. Grant funds will be used to purchase a food stamp processing machine.

Old Wilson Schoolhouse Community Center
Community Meeting Space
$7,500

Between March 2009 and February 2010, over 12,000 people visited the Old Wilson Schoolhouse Community Center to participate in activities ranging from nonprofit fundraisers to lectures to birthday parties. The center serves an important community need by providing not only meeting space, but also opportunities for educational, cultural, social and civic activities in the area. A grant from the Community Foundation will help the center to become financially self-sustaining. Funds will be used to cover general operating costs in order to keep the facility open and available to all members of the community.
