The Grow A Little Extra program—started by Wyoming First Lady Jennie Gordon—is ‘taking root’ across Wyoming. Gardeners and producers are encouraged to produce extra vegetables, fruits, and other foods that can be donated to people in need through the Wyoming Hunger Initiative, which has a goal to prevent food insecurity across the state.
