Wyo Dem Legislators Directly Address Hunger

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.

You can read more and learn how to Donate as a Dem by visiting this Mobilize event:
