CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 26, 2023 (Newswire.com) - WyHy Federal Credit Union, a leading financial institution dedicated to serving its community, is proud to announce a substantial donation of $35,000 to the Food Bank of Wyoming. The donation was made possible through the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) matching grant program.

"The donation from WyHy will help Food Bank of Wyoming source, purchase, and distribute enough food for over 100,000 meals to Wyoming neighbors in need, and it couldn't come at a better time," expressed Executive Director Rachel Bailey. "There has been a significant increase in need over the past year for accessible food across the state.
