The Greater Cheyenne COVID-19 Fund is now closed. The fund was initially intended to serve the immediate need brought forth by the pandemic sweeping the nation, and while we acknowledge a need still exists, other resources (several listed below) are present in the community.

The fund has been operating since April 6th. United Way of Laramie County was charged with managing and allocating funds, conducting 21 weeks of weekly application reviews and payments distributing $109,584 helping 159 families! See how our friends and neighbors have been responding to the support;

“God bless you. I’ve been so worried about being shut off and this is such a blessing. We can’t thank you enough. Please pass this on to the committee how grateful and thankful we are”

Though the COVID relief fund is now closed, there is still a way to help your friends and neighbors. Give to United Way of Laramie County – United Way of Laramie County provides support to families like these through our network of program partners. Now more than ever these programs provide vital support to people in our community that improves their health, education, and financial stability. With the help of generous supporters like you, we can meet the growing demand for these services and give people in our community the help they need.
