Second annual Soupgiving draws community together

On Thurs­day, Novem­ber 21, The Teton Behav­ioral Health Alliance, an ini­tia­tive of the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole, held its sec­ond annu­al Soup­giv­ing at Jack­son Ele­men­tary School’s Com­mons. The event was an oppor­tu­ni­ty to con­nect with fel­low Jack­sonites before the busy, and some­times chal­leng­ing, hol­i­day season.

More than 400 com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers of all ages enjoyed heart­warm­ing soup and desserts from local busi­ness­es and orga­ni­za­tions, con­nect­ed with friends old and new and lis­tened to live music.

This event was made pos­si­ble with gen­er­ous sup­port from Jack­son Hole Trav­el and Tourism Board, First West­ern Trust, St. John’s Health, Teton Coun­ty School Dis­trict #1, and the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole.

Thanks to the fol­low­ing indi­vid­u­als, orga­ni­za­tions, and busi­ness­es who helped make this event pos­si­ble: Hilary Camino, Art Asso­ci­a­tion of Jack­son Hole, Teton Lit­er­a­cy Cen­ter, Key Club mem­bers, Girls Active­ly Par­tic­i­pat­ing (GAP!), Scouts BSA Troop 67, and Jack­son Ele­men­tary School.
