The Holland & Hart Foundation Jackson office supported the JH Friday Food Project in the Spring, by having one member coordinate and manage the bag packing at the office, while another member delivered the bags to a centralized school location for distribution. In 2020, the Jackson office coordinated the delivery of more than 600 food bags before merging in September with Hole Food Rescue.
2019

Habitat for Humanity Build Day: For the H&H Foundation’s 20th Anniversary Project, the Jackson Hole office participated in a Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area (Teton Habitat) Build. Due to Jackson’s location as a destination for high-end vacation homes and that the government owns 97% of the land in Teton County, the housing market in the area is a huge challenge for a large portion of the local population. A few notes about the project itself are as follows:
- There are 24 units under construction and this project is by far the largest Teton Habitat undertaking ever in Teton County.
- Each unit is a 3/2 and approximately 1200 square feet.
- Of the families moving in, there are 58 children that will live in the units.
- The units are sold to the new owners for $225,000 and are amortized with 0% interest loans, with many of the units further subsidized based on the owner’s income.
- The Jackson office team worked with several of the future homeowners at the site (the homeowners are each required to contribute 500 hours of “sweat equity” to the project).
- The units are all deed restricted and Teton Habitat has a first right of refusal to buy back the home and place it back into the Teton Habitat pool if the homeowner ever wants to sell.
2017
Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation Friendlier Fencing Program: The Jackson Hole office participated in the Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation’s Wildlife Friendlier Fencing Program to remove unnecessary fencing. Our regional area is laced with thousands of miles of dilapidated or obsolete fencing that impedes wildlife migration and routinely injures animals. The program works with landowners to identify feasible ways to accommodate wildlife movement and make fences safer for wildlife.
2016
Friday Food Bags: The JH Friday Food bag program continued to expand in 2016, delivering 12-17 bags per week 44 weeks of the year. This year, more than 680 bags of much-needed fresh produce and non-perishable food were delivered to at-risk families of local elementary school children.
Food Bags for Students: In September 2015, the office began the JH Friday Food Bag project. The office partnered with Teton County School District #1 and Hole Food Rescue to deliver bags of nutritional food – fresh produce and non-perishable food – every Friday during the school-year to students who are most at-risk for hunger over the weekend. The office orders non-perishable food and Hole Food Rescue delivers fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains from to the office every Thursday afternoon. All members of the office help on a rotating schedule to assemble the grocery bags and deliver them to the schools on Friday morning. The program started with 5 bags per week at one local elementary school and then doubled to 10 bags per week in January 2016. In the spring, the program expanded to 15 bags per week and began supporting families at a second school. With generous funding from a local philanthropist, the Friday Food Bag project supplied much-needed grocery bags to 15 families over the summer months and plans to expand to 20 bags per week in 2016-2017 school year.
2015
The Santa Claus Fund: The entire Jackson office participated in serving as elves for 20 children through the Santa Fund, a nonprofit organization which provides Christmas presents for underprivileged children in Teton County, Wyoming. The fund gives each “elf” approximately $140 to spend per child. The elves then donate their time and energy to shopping for presents, wrapping gifts, and dropping the packages off for the parents to pick-up the week before Christmas.
2014
Cooking for Community Safety: The Jackson office and many family members gathered on the evening of Nov. 11, 2014, to cook meals and freeze them for the local domestic violence shelter, Community Safety Network. After making grocery lists, recipes and grocery shopping, 100 percent of the Jackson office participated in chopping, slicing, dicing, grating and cooking the delicious home-made meals. The Holland & Hart children had fun decorating Christmas cookies to share with the shelter.
The Community Safety Network provides support, advocacy, shelter, and assistance to those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. According to Teton County law enforcement, these crimes are considered the most underreported and disparaging crimes in our community. With donations and volunteers from throughout the Jackson community, the Community Safety Network serves more than 500 clients and their children with shelter and support in addition to reaching thousands of teens and adults with education and outreach programming.
