Feed Utah

Mar 15, 2021, 12:00:04 PM

When: March 20, 2021 
Where: Everywhere in Utah! 

On Saturday, March 20, 2021, multi-faith-based congregations, organizations and residents throughout Utah will collaborate with Utah Food Bank for the first annual statewide Feed Utah food drive, in partnership with Associated Food Stores, JustServe, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the NAACP, Bonneville Salt Lake (KSL TV, KSL Newsradio, FM100.3 and 103.5 The Arrow), the Boys & Girls Clubs of Utah Alliance and the Utah National Guard. 

This food drive will help provide food to the estimated 511,000 Utahns who are facing hunger this year—many of whom for the first time due to economic fallout resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Even more alarming is that 1 in 5 Utah kids are unsure where their next meal will come from. 

Our hope is that the Feed Utah food drive will bring together the power of Utah’s diverse communities and organizations in the fight against hunger—all while adhering to strict social distancing recommendations and safety protocols. 

The public can join in this effort by placing a bag of non-perishable food outside their front door by 9am on March 20, 2021 for pickup by volunteers. You may also drop by your local Macey's, Lin's Market, Fresh Market, Dan's Market, or Dick's Market and donate your non-perishable food items there. 

Donated food will be distributed to Utah Food Bank, and its 203 partner agencies across the state. Find out more HERE. 

Utahns can participate in a variety of ways: 

  1. Donate financially to Utah Food Bank through the Feed Utah Virtual Food Drive. 

  2. If your food donation is not picked up at your door, you can take your donation to the nearest drop-off location  

  3. Click HERE to see a list of participating Associated Food Stores locations.
