(Cheyenne, WY) â First Lady Jennie Gordonâs Wyoming Hunger Initiative and the Wyoming Governorâs Residence Foundation allocated $50,000 in December to anti-hunger nonprofit organizations in each of Wyomingâs 23 counties for Christmas meals, as well as $25,000 to local Shop with a Cop programs to provide participating children with Christmas meal baskets.
Food pantries and anti-hunger nonprofit organizations across the state are facing a tremendous challenge: because of the increased demand due to COVID-19, there simply arenât enough resources left to provide Christmas meals to those experiencing the financial effects of the pandemic. Wyoming Hunger Initiative joined forces with corporate and private donors to bring funding to every Wyoming county so that no one misses this holiday.
