1. Volunteer

Making time to serve others not only benefits Cheyenne, it also benefits your health!

The Corporation for National and Community Service reported, “Research demonstrates that volunteering leads to better health and that older volunteers are the most likely to receive physical and mental health benefits from their volunteer activities.”

It’s easier than ever to find an organization to volunteer with. Cheyenne Chamber has a great list of volunteer opportunities and ServeWyoming.org has a comprehensive list that quickly tells you who they need and the requirements each organization has for their volunteers.

2. Vote and Contact Your Local Congressman/woman.

As of 2017, Liz Cheney is the current representative for Wyoming. You can contact her here.

3. Offer Support.

Look for small ways you can support those around you throughout the day. This can be as simple as smiling to a stranger or meeting a friend for coffee. Small efforts can make a big impact in your local community.
