Bountiful Food Pantry

The Bishop is encouraging us to donate directly to the Bountiful Food Pantry tomorrow Saturday Sept. 26th.  Thank you for your willingness to help!

The following is the letter from the Food Pantry:

Hunger Action Month Food Drive, Saturday, September 26, 2015

                September is Hunger Action Month nation-wide and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Utah are encouraged to donate non-perishable food during this year’s Food Drive scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2015. This single-day food drive is hosted by Utah Food Bank and community hunger relief agencies with local food pantries and Wal-Mart stores serving as drop-off locations statewide. Food donations will benefit the statewide food assistance network, including regional food banks and community food pantries.

Startling statistics show that 17% of Utahns are at risk of hunger and 1 in 5 Utah children might miss a meal today due to a lack of resources. Food pantries statewide are reporting that food assistance is still in high demand due to current economic conditions. Please help by filling any box, bag or container with food donations to help Utahans in need. High protein and nutritious items such as canned meats, peanut butter and canned vegetables and fruit are especially needed. Financial donations are also accepted at www.bountifulfoodpantry.org or checks can be made out to Bountiful Community Food pantry, 480 East 150 North, Bountiful, UT 84010.

We appreciate those who are joining us in the fight against hunger.
