Utah Holds Statewide Food Drive Through March 16th

The number of Utahns at risk of missing a meal has skyrocketed in recent years leaving 1 in 10 Utah children unsure where their next meal will come from. To help replenish local food pantries, Utah residents are encouraged to fill any bag or box with non-perishable food donations and leave it outside their front door on Saturday, March 16th by 9:00am for pick-up. You can also drop food donations off at Macey’s or Lin’s grocery stores, any of Utah Food Bank’s warehouses or food pantry partners. In this episode of Utah Weekly Forum, FM100.3 Host Rebecca Cressman is joined by Utah Food Bank CEO Ginnette Bott who explains why the statewide Feed Utah food drive is critical to meet the record amounts of need.
