Fighting Hunger Statewide
For 120 years, Utah Food Bank has stayed true to our objective of serving those in need throughout our state. We work tirelessly with community partners and volunteers to continue making an impact and fulfilling our mission of Fighting Hunger Statewide.
Last year, Utah Food Bank distributed 50.1 million meals via a statewide network of 245 partner agencies located in all 29 counties. In addition to being one of only a handful of food banks that distributes food free of charge to partner agencies, we also offer several direct service programs to help the most vulnerable populations in our state — children and seniors. By combining these direct service programs with our emergency food assistance services, we can truly impact the lives of Utahns who live in a world of food insecurity.
We are thrilled to announce that all Utah Food Bank locations are now open following our extensive, multi-pronged expansion project! This initiative, aimed at more efficiently and effectively fighting hunger across Utah, was completed in early June 2024.

Here’s a look at our project:
- Salt Lake City: Our 26,000-square-foot expansion is complete, and volunteer projects are in full swing.
- St. George: The Southern Distribution Center has doubled in size to better serve the community.
- Springville: Construction is complete at our new 77,000-square-foot Timpanogos Distribution Center.
- Blanding: The Southeastern Distribution Center, an 18,000 square-foot facility including an attached pantry, is also open and serving the San Juan county area.
We are also excited to introduce three new Utah Food Bank-owned and operated food pantries located in Montezuma Creek, Monument Valley, and Hurricane.
As Utah’s only member of Feeding America’s nationwide network of more than 200 food banks, we are proud to be a part of the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization.
