Project Category

Public Spaces
This grant will improve the Laramie community by creating a new community garden in a public city park, one that is inviting and fully accessible to people of all ages and abilities to come together. Laramie of Albany County, Wyoming, has the highest rate of food insecurity in the state, and this will have a direct impact on food insecurity and the health-related challenges associated with that problem.
