Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Jackson WY

Total Budget: $1,500

Area of Focus: Economic and community development

Activity Type: Community Development: Renovation

Summary: CENTENNIAL GRANT: In cooperation with a participant in the Teton County Treatment Court Program, this grant provides funds for supplies to renovate a wooden deck at the main entrance of the Good Samaritan Mission


The Good Samaritan Mission provides housing, food, and clothing for persons in need in the Jackson and surrounding area. The entry to the Mission is a decrepit wood deck that is in need of repair. It is uneven, cracked, and falling apart. Last season it nearly caught fire and burned the Mission down because of smoke ash that was thrown on the unprotected wood deck.

This project is in collaboration with the Teton County Treatment Court Program. Program participants enter the Treatment Court in an effort to address drug and alcohol addictions and is an alternative to prison sentences with effective results that prevent recidivism. The Treatment Court program is a twelve to eighteen month program and has four phases of participation. To graduate and complete all four phases, participants must complete a community service project of at least 40 hours. In this instance, the participant will donate his time and labor to renovating the decking and entry. This grant is to assist him in obtaining the supplies necessary for the project.

This grant helps in two meaningful ways. First, it assists the Good Samaritan Mission in having a safe and well built deck and entry for all of its hundreds of residents and participants in need of food, shelter, and clothing. Second, it assists in the rehabilitation of a Treatment Court participant and helps to engage him in meaningful, productive community service. The Treatment Court believes that only through giving back to the community can participants appreciate how their positive actions, and not their negative addictive actions, powerfully impact their neighbors, home, and create their own sense of self worth and purpose.
