  • Click here to find out how you can help the Utah Food Bank keep its shelves stocked as furloughed federal workers find themselves in need of the non-profit’s support.
  • Need help? Visit your local food pantry. Take some proof of federal employment with you to expedite the process, as our pantries have been instructed lift typical income requirements.
  • Call United Way’s 2-1-1 for a directory of services nearest you. Or, text 898-211 with your zip code and you’ll be sent a list of resources in your area within moments.
