In the spirit of the holiday, Fremont Therapy Group and Rocky Mountain Sports & PT invite you to join them in helping organizations that help our communities.
All of our community non-profit organizations have been hit hard this year with funding deficits. Let’s rally together to support these entities that continue to help so many of our community members in their time of need.
We encourage community members who are able to join us in donating to your favorite non-profits.
The Green River Clinic Team chose to donate $1000.00 to each of the following:
The mission of Golden Hour Senior Center is to create a better everyday life for people 55 and older through interaction, access, referral, socialization, education, activity and nutrition. Due to the pandemic, GHSC was forced to drastically limit their typically robust activities for Seniors. This removed access to critical social interaction for our Seniors.
To combat Senior loneliness, the staff of GHSC calls patrons to visit, and prepares activity packets to help with the isolation. Typical dining room meals were switched to a successful curbside drive up process, in addition to home delivered meals. With hard work and creativity, The Golden Hour Senior Center has remained a critical service for our most vulnerable community members during this pandemic.
Jackie Grubb, Director of GHSC explains, “Our small kitchen staff of 5 prepares and packages up to 200 meals per day for both curbside pick up and home delivered meals. We have experienced a 10% increase in meal needs this year, and a decrease in our grant funding. This has made for challenging times, but the kitchen staff and office staff have been phenomenal. Everyday they work diligently to engage our Seniors and keep them nourished. I cannot say enough positive things about the GHSC staff.”
How you can help:
- Send monetary donations to 550 Uinta Dr., Suite A, Green River, WY 82935
- Visit the GHSC website here to learn of upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.
If you need help:
- If you or a senior you know is suffering from food insecurity, please call (307) 872-3223 to learn how the Golden Hour Senior Center can help.
The Food Bank of Sweetwater County provides supplemental food for unemployed and low income families at two sites, The Green River Food Pantry and The Rock Springs Food Bank. The Green River Food Pantry serves the residents of Green River, Jamestown, Granger, Little America, and McKinnon. The Rock Springs Food Bank serves the residents of Rock Springs, Farson, Eden, Reliance.
In partnership with The United Way of Southwest Wyoming, the food bank strives to help make sure Sweetwater County families have access to nutrition in their time of need. During the holiday season, the number of people seeking food assistance increases by about 50 percent. With the pandemic, the food bank has experienced an increase in community members in need.
Kathy Siler, Director of the Food Bank of Sweetwater County, notes, “We have seen many new faces seeking food assistance this year. Especially with the holiday season approaching, our food supply rapidly decreases. Donations are more important now than ever.”
How you can help:
- The Food Bank is encouraging contactless donations at this time. Drop non-perishable items such as canned meats, canned dinners, canned fruits and vegetables, condiments, side dishes and cereal at your local library.
- Mail check donations to 90 Center Street, Rock Springs WY 82901 (in the check memo, note Green River or Rock Springs designate where you would like your donation to go)
- Donate online at www.foodbankswcty.org. With their partnership with Food Bank of the Rockies, every $1.00 donated is equivalent to 4 meals!

Kiwanis is dedicated to serving children in Sweetwater County and they measure each of their projects based on the benefit to children. Superintendent McGovern mentioned that school kids get their school clothes in September and by March they have long worn out or outgrown their shoes. Kiwanis plans to host Shoes for Kids this year to help children of Sweetwater County secure footwear for the entire year.
Kiwanis also supports Raising Readers (books given to every child when they visit the pediatrician), Shop with a Cop ), and support for Boys and Girls Club, United Way and the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, and Juvenile Diabetes. Karla Leach, Board Member explains, “By serving the children of this community, we hope that we can bring a bit of sunshine to some very deserving kids and lighten the load for their parents. Because our primary fundraisers have been cancelled this year, donations are a tremendous help to continue to support the youth of our community.”
