CASPER, Wyo. — Wyoming Food for Thought Project is hosting the City Wide Food Drive, which starts Feb. 17 and continues through March 17, to raise 40,000 meals for local children during Spring Break.
The City Wide Food Drive is an opportunity for businesses and residents to help more than 1,100 local kids eat well during Spring Break, the organization said in a news release. The City Wide Food Drive is also an opportunity for businesses to challenge each other.
This year’s headline challenge is between Greiner Ford and White’s Mountain Motors. Both White’s Mountain Motors and Greiner Ford have trucks in their showrooms ready to be filled with food. Donors can drop any amount off at either location. The truck that fills up the fastest wins bragging rights.
Other business challenges are happening, too. Michael Houck Real Estate Team is donating a case of food for each property sold through March 17.
