Grocery store partners are playing a large role in making sure food banks and pantries have enough inventory to help those in need.“Without them, we couldn’t provide healthy options for our clients,” said Rebekah Anderson, the executive director of the Bountiful Community Food Pantry. The facility works with nearly a dozen grocery stores in Davis County.Six days a week, crews from the pantry pick up food that can no longer be sold in grocery stores but is still perfectly edible.
“We want to make sure any food that’s edible gets to needy families.”This process plays out at all Smith’s stores across the state.“Last year alone, in our Utah stores through the partnership with food banks, we were able to rescue 2.6 million pounds of food,” said Tina Murray, public affairs manager for Smith’s.Due to the increased community need since the COVID-19 pandemic, the donations are vital.
