Hundreds Benefit From Park County Pop Up Food Pantry Written by Andrew-Rossi on March 9, 2021
Cars were lined up for hours before the pantry opened, and Park County officials and volunteers ensure everyone who showed up went home with some food security.
After examining several areas in Wyoming, the Wyoming Food Bank of the Rockies determined Cody and Park County were areas most in need of additional food at this time. Other food pantries are being held in Casper, Gillette, and Laramie this March.
Word of the one-day pantry got out and the community responded.
“We had cars lining up as early as 7:45 a.m. this morning,” says Jack Tatum, director of the Park County Office of Homeland Security. The pantry didn’t officially open until 11 a.m.
Masks are available at no charge for both children and adults.
Getting a new mask is never a bad idea. Park County’s current mask mandate remains in effect until at least Jan. 8, and Wyoming’s mask mandate until Jan. 4.
Everyone 11 years and older must wear face masks in public spaces throughout Wyoming for the rest of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. While there’s no official word from either state or county officials, it’s possible that both mandates will be extended if COVID-19 cases and hospitalization continue to climb.
If you have any questions about Park County Homeland Security and/or the services provided to the community please call Director Jack Tatum at 307-527-1860.
