Grow A Little Extra

Grow A Little Extra is one of the programs under the Wyoming Hunger Initiative (see listing below), the official initiative of Wyoming First Lady Jennie Gordon. Local gardeners and producers are encouraged to ‘grow a little extra’ vegetables and fruits that can be donated to local organizations that help people in need.

“Grow A Little Extra was established by First Lady Gordon to be around for years to come,” says her chief of staff, Trista Ostrom. “Sustainability is a key piece to the Wyoming Hunger Initiative, well beyond the Gordon administration.”

Major sponsors:
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, Hughes Charitable Foundation, John B. Ellbogen Foundation, Albertsons and Safeway’s Nourishing Neighbors, the salary of Gov. Mark Gordon, Foster’s Outriders, Rocky Mountain Power Foundation, Dan and Cynthia Starks, and Mountain West Credit Union Foundation.
