First lady Jennie Gordon’s Wyoming Hunger Initiative is partnering with University of Wyoming Extension to launch a program under the “Food from the Farm + Ranch” banner called “Grow a Little Extra.”
Wyoming Hunger Initiative regional directors Caitlin Youngquist and Lori Dickinson, both UW Extension educators, spearheaded the effort to encourage gardeners to “grow a little extra” this year to provide produce for their neighbors in need.
UW Extension has offices in all 23 counties and the Wind River Indian Reservation. The collaboration uses existing resources to create a sustainable solution to hunger, according to the first lady’s office.
