Donating Money
I know it is not as much fun to donate money as it is to go shopping, but donating money is THE MOST cost effective method of feeding the hungry in the Wyoming area. For every $1.00 you give to FNOW, we are able to purchase $17.00 of food thru our wholesale, retail, and other distributors contacts. Plus we are able to purchase much needed personal care items, first aid, and medical items not available thru normal governmental aid agencies. Simple things like toilet paper, tooth brushes, and bandages (parents can attest to this need) which you don't even think about.

(Editors note - This program is a godsend to the staff of FNOW. It is smoothing out some of the financial ups and downs allowing us to purchase much needed personal care items.)
DID YOU KNOW:
