Food Bank Of Sweet Water County

90 Center Street
307-382-7332

Mission:

To provide the resources necessary to feed the hungry throughout Sweetwater County, to support our staff and volunteers, to raise awareness of our program in the community, to ensure accountability to our supporters and clients.

About Us:

We use TEFAP guidelines, due to the commodities that we recieve from them to qualify those who need food, but we never turn anyone away. Our clients are usually disabled, elderly, unemployed, or low income families, who are struggling for one reason or another with purchasing food groceries. This type of circumstance can happen to anyone at anytime, that's why we are here, we care, and we try to help in hard times.

Food is donated by schools, government surplus, churches, distributors, private entities,local businesses,and public food drives and private donations.

Food is also purchased from Wyoming Food Bank of the Rockies through grants.

Wyoming Food Bank of the Rockies donates food from their mobile food pantry.

USDA (government commodities) are also donated monthly.

Food is also picked up at the local grocery stores (Albertsons, Walmart and Smith's in Rock Springs, and Smith's in Green River) through the Fresh Rescue Program with Wyoming Food Bank of the Rockies and Feeding America.
