This year, your support during WyoGives goes even further as it falls under our Heart of Hope Summer Campaign, a $120,000 fundraising effort to offset major funding cuts to essential programs. Due to federal reductions, including the elimination of $188,000 from hunger relief and anticipated cuts from housing and energy assistance programs, we’re facing a critical shortfall. Our goal for WyoGives is to raise $40,000 toward this campaign, and every dollar brings us closer to keeping vital services in place for our neighbors in need.

Since 1968, we’ve been providing critical services to our neighbors in need, offering housing, food, and emergency assistance. Your donation during WyoGives will help sustain and grow these programs, ensuring that we continue to support individuals and families in our community, especially now, as we respond to a 36% increase in homelessness and growing food insecurity affecting children and seniors.

What Your Gift Can Do

• $35 = supplemental groceries for one person for a month

• $40 = a week of meals at our Soup Kitchen

• $100 = four nights of safe shelter

• $250 = assistance with costs like rent, utilities, or medical prescriptions

• $500 = supports our mission of helping people help themselves
