First Lady Jennie Gordon’s Wyoming Hunger Initiative, in collaboration with multiple agencies in Albany County, will host a community meal on June 14, 2023, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at LaBonte Park in Laramie. The event aims to provide a meal and highlight available resources for veterans in Albany County.

Wyoming Hunger Initiative supports grassroots anti-hunger organizations throughout the state. The event will serve as a networking opportunity, offering access to community resources and a meal provided by Operation 307 Vet Connect.

“Our priority is addressing food insecurity and ensuring veterans have access to resources,” says First Lady Jennie Gordon. She hopes to create year-round opportunities for veterans to connect with community resources.

Transportation and meal deliveries will be provided upon request. Veterans can sign up by contacting Volunteers of America at (307) 745-8915. The event will take place at LaBonte Park, located near the basketball court at Canby and 8th Street.

This collaborative effort involves various organizations, including Volunteers of America, the Cent$ible Nutrition Program, Laramie Interfaith, Cathedral Home, and more.

Wyoming Hunger Initiative, led by First Lady Jennie Gordon, is governed by the Board of Directors of the Wyoming Governor’s Residence Foundation. For more information, visit www.nohungerwyo.org.
