The Utah Food Bank and food pantries are seeing an increase in demand as schools let out and we head into the summer months and they're asking for more donations to help those in need. ChrisArnoldTV
Ginette Bott, the president and CEO of the Utah Food Bank, says 289,000 Utahns are challenged when it comes to where they will get their next meal. That includes 1 in 9 Utah children.
Bott says the summer is a time when donations tend to decrease. She says as families vacation and spend time with their kids, they sometimes forget to donate or volunteer. Donations from the drive helped stock the shelves at the two food pantries from the Crossroads Urban Center. Bill Tibbitts, the deputy executive director of the center, says the high demand had them inching closer to a situation they had never reached before.
