A small group of Pine Haven residents came together in February to discuss the possibility of instigating a senior center and to better determine whether the town would support a senior center of their own. The group decided to start judiciously by asking Keyhole Country Club to lease a room one day a week for the enterprise over the remaining winter season; with the issue of cost, this plan was not found to be feasible. However, with the building that formerly housed the Vineyard Church coming...

“We are so blessed,” says Moorcroft Interfaith Community (MIC) Vice-President Randy Blakeman. “We had so many people show up for the Mobile Food Pantry that we were in danger of running out of food, but God provided what was needed.” Blakeman hauled two pickup loads of food donated by the Salvation Army in Gillette to go along with the food delivered by the Wyoming Food Bank of the Rockies, (WFBR) especially for the Crook County Mobile Food Pantry. Together, the groups were able to provide food boxes for 113 families representing 397 individ...
When the COVID-19 pandemic began, the need for masks quickly out-ran supply nationwide. Facing this dilemma, Campbell County Memorial Hospital put out the call for anyone who could sew to come to their aid with well made homemade face coverings – and Moorcroft resident Trudy Klein answered. “I went online and found the one [mask design] I liked the most and that started it,” she says of a project that has now exceeded an incredible 1000 masks. Though at first it was concentrated healthcare worke...

Answering a knock on their door, local seniors were surprised Friday to be greeted by the smiling faces of volunteers Mary Joselyn and Rosalie Brimmer delivering brown lunch sacks with May Day goodies inside.

I want them to know that we are here for them.” Within the...
There are many stories of citizens and organizations that have and continue to reach out to neighbors during these trying times and this one comes from Pine Haven. At the beginning of the quarantine, several residents who continued to drive to Gillette for work spontaneously called into town hall offering to collect groceries, medicines, etc for their elderly neighbors and ones with compromised health who could not travel.
