Giving Back to Our Community – Combatting Food Insecurity
We love our community and are giving back. We pledge to donate at least $10,000 to a local non-profit every month. Join us in sponsoring these local charities.
March 2021 – Utah Food Bank – Mobile Food Pantries
Utah Food Bank’s Mobile Pantries provide support to Utahns living in areas that are classified as food deserts or are inaccessible or underserved by traditional food pantries. Many Utahns live in areas classified as food deserts, areas where residents don’t have healthy, affordable food stores near them and lack sufficient transportation to get to the nearest stores. Often, the few food resources available lack nutrition (such as fast-food restaurants) or are over-priced and under-nutritious (such as convenience stores).
Local pantries may lack storage space or refrigeration, making it difficult to support the local community and offer adequate fresh food. Last year, Utah Food Bank served 654,934 individuals through 683 Mobile Pantry deliveries at 40 strategically placed sites around the state. Donate Today
