  • Program 1 [2020]

    ROOTED IN WYOMING PARTNERED WITH K-5 TEACHERS TO PROVIDE "VIRTUAL GARDENING" LEARNING SEED STARTING KITS FOR OVER 2,040 KIDS IN SHERIDAN COUNTY DURING SCHOOL CLOSURES THIS SPRING. THESE IMPACTFUL COLLABORATIONS CONTINUE TO GROW OUR PROGRAM INVOLVING MORE TEACHERS, PARENTS, VOLUNTEEERS AND KIDS IN GARDEN EXPERIENCES. RIW INSTALLED FIVE COMMUNITY FARM WALLS, LOCATED AT SMITH ALLEY BREWING CO, PARTIALLY THROUGH ONE OF ELEVEN GRANTS AWARDED THROUGH THE WYOMING BUSINESS COUNCIL AND THE WYOMING DEPARMENT OF AGRICULTURE. THE VISION FOR FARM WALLS IS TO CREATE AN EXPERIENCE THAT INTRIGUES AND EDUCATES, WHICH IN TURN WILL CREATE NUTRITIONAL AND ECONOMIC RESOURCES. OUR COMMUNITY GRACIOUSLY SPONSORED 4 WALLS IN ADDITION TO THE GRANT. RIW IS MOVING FORWARD WITH RENEWED ENERGY AND SENSE OF PURPOSE FOLLOWING OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREAT IN AUGUST. WE HAVE A GOOD SOLID VISION OF THE ROAD AHEAD WITH THREE IDENTIFIED STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS: BUILDING PROGRAM RESOURCES FOR ENGAGEMETN, EXPANDING AND ENHANCING OUR LEADERSHIP, AND A PROPOSED PATH TO BUILD A CENTER FOR SELF-SUFFICIENCY.
