One22 Resource Center is celebrating 25 years in Teton County with a free community party on Tuesday at the Center for the Arts Lawn, featuring yard games, face painting, a mechanical bull, art projects, a photobooth, a DJ and food truck specials.
Community Support
The nonprofit as it stands today is something of a supergroup. Ten years ago, three organizations came together under one roof: Community Resource Center, Latino Resource Center and El Puente. Jackson Cupboard came aboard in 2020, completing One22 as it’s known today. One22 says it is built on work that began in 2001.
One22 estimates that it serves approximately 10% of the local population through financial and food assistance programs, youth enrichment scholarships, financial empowerment workshops, emergency stipends, and more offerings. In 2024, the org distributed $250 gift cards for gas or groceries to help Teton Valley commuters deal with costs resulting from the closure of the Teton Pass. In 2025, it launched a program to support federal employees affected by the government shutdown.
Seadar Rose Davis, One22’s Director of Community Engagement, noted that One22 supported more than 3,100 individuals in 2025, including the distribution of more than 489,000 pounds of food and household items through the Jackson Cupboard. She says about a third of the households served by the nonprofit end up utilizing more than one of its programs.
Davis wants to encourage community members to check out One22’s programs even if they wouldn’t traditionally identify as someone in need of food or financial assistance. She observes that some individuals who are struggling might think that assistance programs are reserved for people “struggling more.”
Self-serve satellite cupboards located in the Teton County Library and in the Jackson/Teton County Recreation Center are open to all, no questions asked.
Looking Ahead
As One22 staffers reflect on the 25-year milestone, they’re also looking ahead, planning to evolve with the needs of residents and of the workforce.
“Like any other nonprofit that works in the space of health and human services, we would love to one day not be necessary, and we know we always will be,” Davis said. “It’s always been a struggle to live and work here. For those people who decide to be part of this wonderful community, we’re going to be here.”
One22’s event will run from 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Community members of all ages are invited.
