Wyoming launches new hunger initiative program

First Lady Jennie Gordon’s Wyoming Hunger Initiative is proud to partner with University of Wyoming Extension to launch a new program under the Food from the Farm and Ranch banner called Grow a Little Extra.

University of Wyoming Extension is doing work around the state with their Master Gardener program and Cent$ible Nutrition Program,” says First Lady Jennie Gordon. “This Wyoming Hunger Initiative effort will leverage the work already being done and help increase access to local produce for a wide range of people in Wyoming.”

Anyone in the state of Wyoming who enjoys gardening is encouraged to grow an extra row or two and donate the produce to their local Cent$ible Nutrition Program, where it will be weighed and and distributed to local anti-hunger organizations.

In Thermopolis, Red Dirt Master Gardeners are participating. You can donate through the Community Garden or the Farmers Market. Seed packets are available at the HSC Library.
