What do you get when you pair a great love of hunting with a passion for helping those in need? Food from the Field. It’s an innovative program led by Wyoming’s First Lady Jennie Gordon to help our most vulnerable neighbors in Wyoming.
In 2021, hunters donated 215 harvested animals amounting to 9,841 pounds of game meat. That makes a difference for fighting hunger in Wyoming.
Food from the Field is a partnership between Wyoming Hunger Initiative, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Wyoming Department of Agriculture, and participating processors to streamline game meat donations to food pantries statewide. Donations continue building a sustainable future fighting hunger in Wyoming. All deer and elk undergo appropriate CWD testing to ensure safety prior to entering the food bank system.
March 11 at 12 noon is the deadline to enter a raffle to win a Commissioner’s License to support the Food from the Field initiative. A limited number of tickets are available.
