Who Qualifies?





We use TEFAP guidelines, due to the commodities that we recieve from them to qualify those who need food, but we never turn anyone away.



Where does the
food come from?





Food is donated by schools, government surplus, churches, distributors, private entities, local businesses, and public food drives and private donations. Food is also donated and purchased from Food Bank of Wyoming. USDA (government commodities) are also donated monthly. Food is also picked up at the local stores by the Food Bank of Sweetwater County, through the Grocery Rescue Program with Food Bank of Wyoming and Feeding America.



Where does our
funding come
from?



Our major support for operational expenses comes from United Way of Southwest Wyoming. City of Rock Springs provides the building and pays for our utilities at the Rock Springs Food Bank. Sweetwater County provides the building and pays the utilities at the Green River Food Pantry. Sweetwater County also provides in-kind support to Food Bank of Sweetwater County. One major grant that is received each year for the Green River Food Pantry is from the City of Green River. Grants are always being researched and applied for by the Director.
