  • Dec. 19: Teddy Bear Rally / Diaper & Formula Drive, 6:00 p.m. at Utah State Capitol, 350 N. State St., SLC. Event by Coalition of Religious Communities, Crossroads Urban Center and Powerful Moms Who Care: "Please come to show your support for the one hundred plus Utah children that have been turned away from shelter because there are not enough beds for all of the families in need. We ask that you bring a teddy bear to symbolize a child who will wake up in a car or a tent on Christmas morning. We will also be collecting diapers and baby formula for Crossroads Urban Center's emergency food pantries. This is a family-friendly event, kids of all ages welcome!"

  • Dec. 23: Christmas Food Giveaway, 10a-2p at Rowland Hall, 843 S. Lincoln St., SLC. "If you need help with food this season, come and receive a [frozen] turkey and sides for your holiday meal.

Walk-up options available. No documentation required. For more information, call 801-364-7765 or visit crossroadsurbancenter.org."
