Community

The eighth annual Souper Bowl food drive, staffed and sponsored by AARP’s Sheridan Community Action Team (CAT) netted an estimated 1,100 pounds of food for local food banks in the Sheridan County area, last week.

The food drive will feature food donation bins around Sheridan decorated in the colors of the Philadelphia Eagles, with others in town wearing the Gold and Red of the Kansas City Chiefs. Donors are encouraged to make their pick for the winner of this year’s Big Game by placing their food donations in bins decorated in the colors of the team they believe will win.

Previous Community Challenge grants have led to impressive results with nearly half of grantees leveraging their projects into additional funding support from private and public sector partners and eight-in-10 overcoming barriers and advancing change.

AARP Wyoming is offering boxes of cheer to those who could use a pick-me-up and is asking for the public’s help in nominating those who could use a smile.

Grant funding is available for those interested in applying for the competitive Community Challenge Grants.
