The Lander Care and Share Food Bank opened in 1986 after the community was devastated by the closure of a local iron ore mine. In our 36 years of serving Fremont County we have moved from a ramshackle house with no electricity or running water to our cheerful building on Garfield Street, and we have grown from a loose start-up to a stable organization with deep community roots. Now we have many volunteers and a paid administrator, and we serve over 1,000 individuals every month, offering each family that comes in a nutritionally balanced box of food worth approximately $100. We are partners with the Food Bank of the Rockies. In keeping with their policy, we do not ask our clients to work in return for food or to attend any kind of service.
