Our festival is committed to highlighting our community, broadening our culinary conversation and contributing to local organizations that directly benefit and strengthen our community.
For 2020 proceeds from our events will support the growth and development of our 501(c)(3) in addition to Hole Food Rescue, a local non-profit that distributes excess food from grocery stores, bakeries, farms and local businesses to organizations serving the at-risk, in-need residents of Teton County, WY.
$32k+ Raised for Local Non-Profit Organizations
(year-to-date)
According to the 2018 Healthy Teton County Community Health Needs Assessment, 10% of Teton County residents are food insecure (over 2,300 people). Hole Food Rescue distributes excess food to organizations which serve the at-risk residents of Teton County. Participating food retailers set aside unsellable, yet perfectly edible, food products.
Volunteers pick up food donations and get them to local food pantries, shelters, after-school programs, and more. The result: more food security in our community and a drastic reduction in the amount of edible food sent to Bonneville County Landfill (101 miles away).
In 2018, over 270,000 lbs. of food was rescued...enough to feed 47 families for 1 year.
Mission.
Hole Food Rescue's mission is to reduce food waste and food insecurity in our community.
With the help of 85+ volunteers, Hole Food Rescue diverts 5,000 pounds of nutritious food on average to around a 1,000 in-need residents every week!
