About Utah Food Bank

• Utah Food Bank’s mission is Fighting Hunger Statewide. With more than 115 years of operation, we are one of the oldest charities in Utah, and are committed to helping Utahns facing hunger in all 29 counties.
• Through generous donations of food time and money last year, we were able to distribute 52.9 million pounds of food, the equivalent of 44.1 million meals, to Utahns facing hunger statewide.
• Utah Food Bank can stretch each $1 donated into $8.03 worth of goods and services, so donations of money have the most impact, but donated food allows us to provide the variety our clients appreciate greatly.
