Wyoming Food for Thought Project
 
 
 
Wyoming Food for Thought Project is a local grassroots organization dedicated to creating a local food system where everyone, especially children, have access to good and healthy food. We believe that accomplishing this mission takes many different programs, working toward a common goal. Wyoming Food for Thought Project accomplishes our mission through our three main programs: Weekend Food Bags, Farmers Markets, and Community Gardens.
