Giving in Action: Wyoming Food for Thought Project

If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one. — Mother Teresa

Luckily for the children and families in the Casper, Wyoming area, Wyoming Food for Thought feeds more than one. As one of our Humanitarian Giving Initiatives, they were able to provide food bags to hungry children. With every purchase you made through See Beautiful that supported WFFT, you helped to feed a child for a weekend. That may not sound like a lot, but for children who don’t have enough to eat, it is everything.

Here’s a great shot of the food bags ready to be delivered. ​

We are so pleased to share these kind words from our friends at Wyoming Food for Thought:

Wyoming Food for Thought Project exists, first and foremost, to feed our children. But equally as important as nourishing little bodies, our food bags serve as a reminder that these children have not been forgotten. And what more powerful way to show them they are valued than a project supported by strangers across the country through partnership in See Beautiful's Giving Initiatives? The food funded by the See Beautiful Giving Initiative creates real change in our students' lives, allowing them to reach milestones in school, and in their personal lives. 

One teacher told us this story of how a Food for Thought food bag made a sixth-grader's dream a reality this year:

"I have a student in my class who always wanted to be able to have a friend spend the night for his birthday but was never able to because he knew that he "wouldn't have enough food at home to feed his friend too." I will never forget when he told me (with such excitement) that because of the Food for Thought bag he received, he was able to have his best friend over for a birthday sleepover and they ate macaroni and cheese together. He was so thrilled to be able to host a peer. It made my heart sing!"

Support from organizations like See Beautiful allows Wyoming Food for Thought Project to keep our promises to those who rely on us most-- hungry children. On their behalf, we are truly grateful to See Beautiful, and to everyone who bought in to keep their tummies --and hearts-- full this year.

Thank you to everyone who supported WFFT, and of course, thank you to Wyoming Food for Thought Project for all of their hard work. For an added dose of inspiration, read more testimonials from our funded partners.
