The first half of 2024 has shown a significant increase in the need for food assistance in Wyoming. Since January, Food Bank of Wyoming has distributed over 6 million pounds of food, equivalent to more than 5 million meals. This represents a 33% increase compared to the same period in 2023. Help us continue to meet the need by donating to Food Bank of Wyoming, where every $1 provides enough food for three meals.

We are proud to partner with Black Hills Energy in Wheatland, Wyoming. Their office will be the distribution site for Evergreen Boxes, supporting older adults in our community. Thank you for generously donating your space and staff time to help neighbors access these vital food boxes. Thank you, Black Hills Energy! 🙌

During our recent visit to Rawlins, we had the pleasure of meeting with Mary Kay, Dee Dee, and Helen from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, one of our Hunger Relief Partners. They emphasized the crucial role Food Bank of Wyoming plays in providing nutritious food to local communities. In small cities like Rawlins, access to nourishing food can be challenging, making the support of food pantries across these areas invaluable. Thank you to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul team for what you do and your warm welcome! 🙌

We're thrilled to announce Casper Pride as our newest Hunger Relief Partner! Casper Pride is a local nonprofit committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community through various resources, including a new food pantry for neighbors facing food insecurity. By combining the scale of Food Bank of Wyoming with Casper Pride's community engagement, we aim to remove barriers and provide access to nutritious food.

Celebrating 20 years of feeding Wyoming neighbors!

Join us as we reflect on our journey of nourishing communities across Wyoming.

Just four years ago, Food Bank of Wyoming remained dedicated through a time of uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic and distributed over 12 million pounds of food across the state. Now, in 2024, we celebrate everything that Food Bank of Wyoming has accomplished in 20 years thanks to the continued support of community partners and donors. #WyomingFoodBank #MakingADifference #SupportingOurCommunity

In 2016, just over a decade of serving and feeding our communities across Wyoming, Food Bank of Wyoming began the Mobile Pantry Program and holiday meal drives with the support of community donors. These mobile pantries and holiday food distributions filled a gap after Wyoming experienced a hard, economic downturn. #WyomingFoodBank #MakingADifference #SupportingOurCommunity
