Friday Food Bag Program
Holland & Hart's Cheyenne Office
Though often unseen and unnoticed, hunger
exists in communities across the United States. We have
seen how hunger impacts the most vulnerable members
of our community, our children. We created the “Friday
Food Bag” program to put food directly in the hands of
the children who need it. We consulted with a
nutritionist to help us select healthy, nonperishable
foods that do not require cooking. The bags contain
multiple servings of protein, fruit, and whole grains.
The program was successfully launched and various
schools in Laramie County School District #1 are
provided bags on an as needed basis. The social workers
in the schools select the children that receive the bags
and we typically distribute seventy-five to a hundred bags of food a week. Members of the Cheyenne office
have spent several hours shopping for food, filling food
bags, and delivering bags to the schools. We raised funds
and solicited help from other law firms and local
businesses for this project.
