First Lady Jennie Gordon’s Wyoming Hunger Initiative, in  partnership with multiple agencies in Albany County, will host a community meal  on June 14, 2023 between 5:30 and 7:30 PM at LaBonte Park in Laramie for veterans  and their families. The purpose of this event is to share a meal and resources that  are available in Albany County for veterans.  

Partnerships are the foundation of Wyoming Hunger Initiative as the mission is to  support grassroots anti-hunger organizations across Wyoming. A multitude of  services are available in Albany County and this one-stop-shop event will provide  for networking opportunities, access to resources within the community, and a  meal provided by the Operation 307 Vet Connect effort in Albany County. 

“In addition to addressing food insecurity in our state, ensuring that the men and  women who have served our country have access to adequate resources is a  priority of mine,” says First Lady Jennie Gordon. “It is my hope that we are  providing ample opportunities for veterans to connect with resources in their  communities not just on Veterans Day but throughout the year. 

Transportation will be provided for anyone who wishes to attend and needs this  service. Meals will also be delivered to anyone who requests one and cannot attend  in person. Veterans are encouraged to call Volunteers of America at (307) 745-8915  to sign up. LaBonte Park is located at Canby and 8th street, near the basketball  court.  

This event is made possible in collaboration with Volunteers of America, the  Cent$ible Nutrition Program, Laramie Interfaith, Cathedral Home, Veterans of  Foreign Wars, American Legion Husted-Pendleton Post 14, University of Wyoming  Veterans Services Center, Laramie Soup Kitchen, Family Promise of Albany County,  Wyoming Veterans Commission, Disabled American Veterans, and Wyoming  Hunger Initiative.
