A huge thank you to Wyoming Community Foundation for the grant funding that the Shoshoni Senior Center received as part of their fall 2025 grant cycle. This $9,300 award was used to meet the Local Match requirements of our Support Services, Congregate Nutrition, and Home Delivered Nutrition programs. Without enough local funding to meet the match requirements, we would not have been able to receive the federal and state grant funding that make these programs possible. We so appreciate this support for senior services in our community!

Since 1989, we’ve connected people who care with causes that matter to strengthen communities across Wyoming.

We're gearing up for our biggest event of the year! The STREET FAIR. We will have our prize wheel out again for $5 Spin to Win. It's a crowd favorite, but we need MORE PRIZES! We are asking for generous individuals and businesses to consider donating items that people would be excited to win for $5 (so, not the junk you are cleaning out of your house unless it is unused and has general appeal). The more prizes, the more Spin to Win is played, the more successful our fundraiser is at raising those funds. So please... if you can, bring some amazing prizes to the Senior Center!

Fun ideas include gift cards, fun games, useful gadgets, toys for the kids who spin, etc.

We also need WRAPPING PAPER or bags that are not holiday specific. We are very appreciative of anyone who is willing to help us out with this fun project. Hope to see you at the Street Fair!!!
