The Family Network
History
On April 1, 2004 Family Network of Wyoming opened as a "client choice" food pantry serving an average of 11 families per week and one food truck per month. In the first year of operation the food programs served 130,000 pounds of food to 1,400 households. In 2006, the food programs distributed over 232,000 pounds of healthy and nutritious food to 3,300 families. Our 2007 totals were 401,716 pounds of food gratefully given to 6,192 area families. In 2008 the numbers have increased to 566,590 pounds of food given to 10,882 deserving families. For 2009 FNOW distributed 637,732 pounds of food to 11,364 area families and expanded our line of classes to include budgeting and computer classes. And in 2010 the need continues to grow despite the economy hitting the bottom.
