The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) provides food assistance to low-income households. Laramie Interfaith hosts at least one TEFAP distribution each month, with multiple distributions based on availability. Income is self-reported, and income restrictions are available on their website. TEFAP distribution days are different from the main pantry.
Laramie Interfaith's main pantry offers non-perishable food & hygiene items for pickup once a week. Perishable items are available daily. No documentation is needed, but households must complete the Link2Feed intake form, which can be done online or in-person. Please give yourself plenty of time to visit the pantry.

When you arrive at Laramie Interfaith, we will request that you fill out an application. We work hard with our partners to reduce and remove barriers as well as limit the information we gather. But, please understand there are requirements we cannot control.
Link 2 Feed - Our Food Pantry Application does not require any documentation. You will be required to fill in your household information. This information is gathered by our partners at the Food Bank of Wyoming and helps us understand the needs in our community so that we can improve our services. This information is private and information you provide is only shared with the Food Bank of Wyoming.
HMIS - Our application for rental and utility assistance does require more information. You will need to bring documentation of any source of income and savings. In addition, we are required to keep copies of your lease, bills from the utility company, and any notice of disconnect or eviction (notice to quit).
To receive assistance with any of these, you will need to speak to one of our Case Managers. To make an appointment, you can stop by during walk-in hours or call (307) 742-4240. Due to high call volume, please leave a voicemail and our Case Managers will get back to you as soon as possible. Calls without voicemails will not be returned.
Interfaith cannot provide transportation, however, you may book a ride (in and out of town) with Laramie Connections at this link: https://www.laramieconnections.com/book or call (307) 206-0607.
Link2Feed is a database built for food banks and pantries to help keep track of pantry visits. This data is used to help us improve our program and apply for funding to purchase food. Your information is protected by security protocols like those used by banks when stored in the Link2Feed database. You do not need to bring any documentation to access the pantry. All household accessing the pantry will be required to complete a Link2Feed intake form before receiving pantry items.
