Growing Healthy Food Security and Community Engagement
Since 2009
SHARES
How Shares works.
Feeding Laramie Valley distributes over 30,000 pounds of locally grown fresh produce to households each year. This is made possible through our production gardens and farms, community yard-sharing, farmer's market vendors and individual produce donations from commercial farms, school and community gardeners.
Each week program participants can pick up a shares bag, which is full of enough fresh fruits and vegetables to provide 4-5 servings of produce for each participant.
Each bag also comes with weekly Shares Recipes that have cooking tips and recipes based on that week's produce.
Shares are given to individuals and families who are challenged by insufficient access to healthy food, as well as the Downtown Clinic, Laramie Senior Housing, and Interfaith Good-Samaritan.
There is no cost to join the program.

Donations of all sizes to support our mission of sustainable local food security are needed now more than ever.
Consider these financial support options that will help us share fresh produce to those who need it in our community. A Shares bag provides enough fresh food for about 3 days of the USDA recommendation for 1 person. Each Shares bag has enough for every individual in the household.
