Laramie Interfaith has been awarded $30,000 from the Wyoming Department of Health’s Office of Performance Improvement and Health Equity, which is part of the COVID-19 Health Disparity Grant Program. 

Wyoming has dedicated $8.1 million of federal funding to help eligible entities build up the health care infrastructure and address historical inequities in their communities. The funding is part of Wyoming’s $38.8 million allocation from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for its COVID-19 Health Disparities Grant. The Align Team manages this portion of the COVID-19 Health Disparities Grant for the Wyoming Department of Health. 

Laramie Interfaith plans to use this grant to purchase food to stock its food pantry shelves. Through partnerships with other local organizations, Interfaith is working to expand food availability in Albany County.
