Your Support Makes a Difference!
Your donation will be used to directly support programs that make a difference in the health of your community, bridging the gap for people living with food insecurity until they are back on their feet and helping small producers create a thriving local food economy. Healthy people create healthy communities. Thank you for being a part of ours!
Some of the programs that you are helping include:
Feeding Laramie Valley Programs
Community Composting
To promote a closed-loop food system, we collect food waste for re-use as compost at our production gardens. We partner with local businesses to pick up their food waste and we maintain drop-off sites for community members.
Impact: In 2024, we kept over 13,000 lbs of food waste out of the landfill.
Community Gardens
Garden plots are available at Kiwanis Park and LaBonte Park in Laramie for community members who don’t have access to yards for growing their own food. Mentors are available to help!
Impact: A single 4'x8' raised bed can grow enough produce for 2 people for an entire growing season.
Kids Out to Lunch
Each summer, we provide fresh, made-from-scratch meals to local children ages 0-18 free of charge every weekday. The USDA Summer Food Services program funds 26% of the program, while Feeding Laramie Valley covers the balance.
Impact: We serve about 3,000 children every summer, when school meals aren't available to meet nutritional needs
Mobile Market
A supermarket on wheels! We make fresh, regional produce and other healthy ingredients available in rural communities without convenient grocery store access. Prices are charged on a sliding scale so all can afford fresh produce. Gas and maintenance are our biggest expenses!
Impact: We travel 150 miles each week and serve approximately 30 regular customers, with more finding us daily!
Production Gardens
We are leading the way in demonstrating sustainable agricultural best practices at high elevation in an arid climate using innovative methods in seed starting, hydroponics, and polyculture to boost production and feed the community.
Impact: We grow about 2,500 lbs of produce annually to distribute through our Shares program
SHARES
Our biggest program, through the Shares program FLV distributes fresh, high-quality, locally grown and regional fresh produce to those who need it each year free of cost. Community members come to our office weekly for pick-ups and we deliver to those who are homebound.
Impact: We distribute over 50,000 lbs of produce annually to over 700 unduplicated individuals weekly
