$7,500 Grant Ensures that the Powell Senior Center Can Continue to Provide Services to our Community
December 2024
Powell, WY - While the demand for the services from the Powell Senior Center continues to grow, our Federal and State funding was reduced by $70,643 for our current year. All senior centers in the State were affected by these deep reductions. To accommodate these reductions, we have reduced our budget by $15,000 and increased our suggested contribution for our meals to $4.00 per meal. We have also applied for additional funding from other sources. The inflated costs impact all our daily needs, like food, healthcare, fuel, utilities, housing (property tax/rent), and auto and home maintenance.
These increases have especially affected our seniors, who are on limited income from Social Security and what they have been able to save for retirement. We see the daily struggle with many of our clients who cannot afford what they need, but do not qualify for Medicaid. This grant award from the Wyoming Community Foundation will help us to continue to provide our services to community members and accommodate the increase in needs that we are seeing in Powell.
The Powell Senior Center is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports the physical, social, and mental wellness of seniors in the Powell community and surrounding areas. We provide hot nutritious meals, transportation, medical equipment on loan, and education on topics like health, nutrition, and safety. We offer exercise classes, games, and crafts as well as a safe place for seniors to socialize.
During Medicare Open Enrollment, (October 15 – December 7) the Powell Senior Center provided cost saving information and explained important changes for over 200 clients that needed to review their Medicare prescription drug coverage. The funds that we received from the Wyoming Community Foundation will strengthen the work we do here.

The Wyoming Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization that collaborates with donors to support the charitable causes they care most about. In 2023, the Wyoming Community Foundation granted over $8 million to charitable causes across the state.

Wyoming Hunger Initiative honors local volunteers who work in the space of food insecurity
First Lady Jennie Gordon’s Wyoming Hunger Initiative in partnership with the Hughes Charitable Foundation hosted its sixth and final regional summit in Northern Wyoming recently to bring folks together who are working in the space of food insecurity and to honor volunteers.
The Wyoming Hunger Initiative was launched in 2019 with two tenants in mind: one, to never reinvent the wheel and two, to be in all twenty-three Wyoming counties. There are grassroots efforts in every Wyoming County dedicated to reducing hunger and combating food insecurity.
“Through the relationships that have been developed across the state specific to food insecurity, Wyoming Hunger Initiative has identified partners in every community which has resulted in opportunities to network, share resources, and collaborate” says First Lady Jennie Gordon. “Ultimately, this summit will lead northern Wyoming forward together while also producing realistic action items that are already underway.”
The event kicked off with a volunteer recognition celebration where anti-hunger organizations in northern Wyoming nominated a volunteer from their organization to be recognized. Without the countless volunteers across the county, this work would not be possible.
Carol Johnston, who has been a committed volunteer for the Powell Senior Center’s home delivery meal program for the past 4 years, was honored at this ceremony. “Carol really has a heart for our community members. She takes the time to talk with each person and considers each one of them as a friend. She lets us know who is in greatest need of food or other services. Carol is always one step ahead of us to offer to take on additional routes throughout the week.” says Linda Dalton, Executive Director of the Powell Senior Center.
The Wyoming Hunger Initiative seeks to find and support Wyoming solutions to the challenge of food insecurity, which affects approximately 86,000 residents statewide. Launched in October 2019, Wyoming Hunger Initiative is the official initiative of Wyoming’s First Lady Jennie Gordon and is governed by the Board of Directors of the Wyoming Governor’s Residence Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
