EVANSTON — Garden harvest season is almost here and if you find your garden overflowing, the First Lady Jennie Gordon’s Wyoming Hunger Initiative (WHI), the Cent$ible Nutrition Program (CNP), and the University of Wyoming Extension invite you to donate it.
In April, WHI launched the Grow a Little Extra project with CNP and UW Extension. The project invited local gardeners to grow a little extra this summer to donate to food security agencies in their area. With growing season nearing its end, CNP is excited for donations to begin coming in.
“It is wonderful to see gardeners sharing their bounty with emergency food sites,” said Mindy Meuli, Director of CNP. “We appreciate all of the fresh produce donations. They help to bring more variety and healthy food options to food pantry patrons.”
Any gardener who has excess produce who wishes to donate it can contact Uinta County Extension Office to find out more. CNP educators are able to accept produce, weigh it, and donate it to local agencies that support neighbors facing food insecurity. In Uinta County, donated produce will be going to The Lord’s Storehouse in Evanston.
“We thank all the local gardeners for supporting their community,” said Meuli.
