As a member-owned, not-for-profit institution, WyHy knows how a helping hand can make a huge difference—especially now. Thanks to our members’ commitment to a community-first mindset, we just made a $5,000 donation to the Wyoming Food Bank of The Rockies, an organization that’s working on the front lines to serve people most impacted by this ongoing public health crisis.

“We want to ensure those affected by this COVID-19 crisis gets the food they need to feed their families,” said the Wyoming Food Bank of the Rockies, Director, Tony Woodell. “We’re doing everything we can to make life easier for our neighbors during this difficult time. And it’s partners like WyHy Federal Credit Union who are helping us offset the costs to feed Wyoming families in need.”

Additionally, we are thrilled to announce that our application for a matching grant was approved by the Mountain West Credit Union Foundation, the charitable arm of the Mountain West Credit Union Association. This grant gives an additional $2,500 to Wyoming Food Bank of The Rockies, which brings the total donation amount to $7,500. Together, we all definitely make a difference!

This contribution, made on behalf of our members and MWCUF, will provide 30,000 meals to those most affected by this sudden shift in daily life. Senior citizens, young families, and people with limited income currently face an increased risk of food insecurity. Since Wyoming Food Bank of The Rockies distributes goods to all other food banks across the state, WyHy’s donation efforts will provide relief to families throughout our great state.

The team at Wyoming Food Bank of The Rockies works tirelessly to both uplift and nourish communities across the state, and we are proud to help support their mission in whatever way possible.
