The Wyoming Democratic Legislative Caucus has launched an effort to raise money for the Food Bank of Wyoming!

Our friends and neighbors are hungry. The good news is, we can help! During the federal government shutdown, and heading into the holidays, our community food pantries are stretched thin. Let’s do our part in supporting hungry families by making a donation to the Wyoming Food Bank.

Starting November 1, 2025, $5M in SNAP funds will NOT be distributed to qualifying individuals. Families who typically use their EBT cards to purchase groceries are now turning to food banks for assistance.

Are you concerned about where things are heading? Here are some ways to get involved and make a positive difference in our community!

The JC Dems are becoming known for being Here for Good, but we need help on several community projects. If you are interested in getting involved in any of the projects listed below, please reply to this email with your name, project of interest and contact information (email and phone.) Thanks!

Mini Food Pantry –

• Volunteers to check and stock the mini food pantry located at the Cornerstone Pharmacy, once per week, for a month. Let us know which month of the year works best for you. (Training will be provided.)
• People to donate food items such as canned goods, peanut butter, Ramen Noodles, box mixes, cereal etc. Pick up of food donations is available.
• People to donate money to purchase food items for the Mini Pantry.

Home Delivered Meals –

• Volunteers to help deliver Home Delivered Meals to community members. (Delivery routes and hot meals are provided by the Senior Center, and training is provided to those interested.) The Senior Center will let us know slots that need to be filled.

Adopt-a-Highway –

• Volunteers to help pick up trash, once in the spring and once in the fall, along Highway 16 W. Those willing to volunteer will be contacted when each date is set.

We also need people willing to become Precinct Committeewomen and Committeemen. These are crucial, grassroots roles in our county and state party; a terrific way to get to know and lend support to fellow registered Democrats in your neighborhood.

Questions? Or ready to volunteer? Just send us a note with your name, area of interest, and contact information.

THANKS for helping the JC Dems be Here for Good!

JC Dems have a small committed group working to maintain a mini-pantry of free food for our community members who are hungry. Donations of food or money by like minded friends are always welcome. 

Here are some recommended guidelines for food donations;

• Popular items include: tuna, meat sticks, peanut butter, snack foods/granola bars, ramen, mac and cheese, dried  mashed  potatoes, cereal.
• Please do not include items that are temperature sensitive as the box is not temperature regulated or insulated.
• If providing canned goods, the cans with the pull tab opening is best.

Please bring donations to the JC Dems meeting on August 5th, or let Linda Wilson know and she will pick up any donations. Feel free to contact Linda with questions also.  You can send her a note using this form:

Wyoming Democrats are invited to join in on July 28th. More info and signup link here.

About the book this month:

“Evangelical Christians are perhaps the most polarizing—and least understood—people living in America today. In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement. Through the eyes of televangelists and small-town preachers, celebrity revivalists and everyday churchgoers, Alberta tells the story of a faith cheapened by ephemeral fear, a promise corrupted by partisan subterfuge, and a reputation stained by perpetual scandal.”
