SoulFood is a group for all the women of Wyoming.
Our purpose: SoulFood provides a place to feed your soul with interesting conversation, surprisingly similar discoveries about each other, and pure fun. We believe that a brimming soul brings warmth and emotion to any group. We celebrate our differences in age and background as we grow in Christian fellowship by being active participants in our church and community.
We welcome all ideas and if there is something that you feel passionately about attending, there will probably be others who would be happy to join you.
