Department of Family and Consumer Sciences

The mission of the Department of Family and Consumer Science is to enhance the physical, social, and economic well-being of individuals, families, and communities, emphasizing healthy and sustainable living across the lifespan.

This Giving Day, we are asking you to support the department's efforts to create a student-run bistro and boutique. Our vision for the bistro and boutique is to enhance student engagement, learning, skill development, and career readiness through a student-driven hands-on experiential learning labs.

Here are some of the items and equipment we are hoping to purchase with your support:

• A 16- to 20-ft utility or horse trailer that will be redesigned into a mobile retail space ($40,000)
• Retail equipment and display fixtures ($10,000)
• Foodservice equipment such as espresso machine, coolers, and more ($10,000)
• Mobile coffee cart ($5,000)
• Supplies such as paper cups, napkins, shopping bags, and so on

Monetary donations are very much appreciated, and we also would be grateful for gifts-in-kind.

From $1 to $100, your donation will impact the next generation of Wyoming leaders and provide meaningful experiences for the University of Wyoming students, campus, and Wyoming communities through the creation of a student-run bistro and boutique.

Thank you for supporting the Department of Family and Consumer Science and our students. We appreciate your generosity!
