We provide fresh food coupons that clients may use at Jackson Whole Grocer and on site we have non-perishable items and frozen meats.
We are in search of Spanish/English and non-bilingual volunteers for our operating hours and for off hours. Some of our jobs include assisting clients coming into the Jackson Cupboard, shopping for food at local grocery stores, picking up donations, and stocking shelves.

Sunshine Station
The Sunshine Station encourages literacy-based learning for young children through developmentally appropriate curriculum, and attention to each child’s individual strengths and emotional well-being.
The Sunshine Station uses the Read, Play, and Learn!® (RPL) Curriculum developed by Dr. Toni Linder, at the University of Denver. Through use of RPL, The Sunshine Station strives to meet these guidelines by creating a nurturing environment that encourages children and their learning process.
We believe that relationships are the groundwork for human existence. Through developing bonds with teachers and caregivers, children acquire the foundations upon which to progress cognitively.
Low child to staff ratio is a priority of The Sunshine Station. Research on early childhood development has shown that “chaos and confusion happen when we put too many young children in one group, even with an appropriate number of adult caregivers. Smaller groups mean fewer distractions and children's activities that are more focused. In small groups, very young children are able to make connections, form caring relationships, and learn to understand other children”(Lally, Torres, Phelps, 1992).
Sunshine Station respects the varying needs of children and families. An integral component of our philosophy and program is to facilitate cooperative community services for any Sunshine kid that may need extra physical, emotional or cognitive-related support.
We believe in creating a partnership with parents! We encourage ongoing and open discussion about your child, and his or her classroom, and we will host regular parent teacher meetings.
We will use the “Positive Attachments and Learning to Succeed” model developed by Barry Chaloner at the Center for Early Intervention in Durango, Co., to support each child strengths, and to reduce or eliminate challenging behavior in a consistent and developmentally appropriate manner.
The Sunshine Station celebrates diversity and encourages families of all ethnicities and religions to feel welcome.
