NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTION
Neighborhood Connection serves students suffering food insecurity at 14 Southern Utah school. Volunteers are dedicated to fighting childhood hunger by providing supplemental weekend food to school children who qualify for free or reduced breakfast and lunch programs. Through its “Pantry Packs” (gallon-sized bags of child-friendly, shelf-stable meals and snacks) Neighborhood Connection helps ensure students don’t go without food when school is out.
The organization currently serves over 800 students each week, working with schools to identify need and distribute food in a way that protects family dignity.
UTAH FOOD BANK
The Utah Food Bank plays a critical role in fighting hunger statewide by providing food and essential resources to individuals and families facing food insecurity. Through a network of partner agencies, mobile pantries, and direct service programs, the Utah Food Bank distributes millions of pounds of food each year to communities in every county.
In addition to emergency food assistance, the Utah Food Bank supports child nutrition programs, senior initiatives, and rural outreach efforts. By working alongside community partners, volunteers, and donors, the Utah Food Bank helps ensure that Utah families have reliable access to nutritious food and the support they need to thrive.
