Feed Utah 2026: A Statewide Effort to Fight Hunger
Donate food, organize a drive, or give online to help provide meals for Utahns facing hunger during this statewide effort.
From March 7 through March 14, Utah Food Bank will partner with statewide agencies and Associated Food Stores for the fifth annual Feed Utah food and fund drive.
Together, we can provide meals for the estimated 445,000 Utahns, including 1 in 5 children, who are unsure where their next meal will come from.
There are several easy ways to participate.
Donate Food While You Shop
You can donate food at any of the 55 participating Associated Food Stores locations statewide during the week of March 7–14 including Lee’s Marketplace, Bella’s Market, Macey’s, Dan’s, Dick’s Market, Lins, Fresh Market, Digby’s Market, Peterson’s Fresh Market, Stewart’s Marketplace, and Davis Food & Drug locations.
Collection bins will be available in stores. In addition, many locations will offer case lot sales to make donating simple and affordable.
While shopping for your household, consider purchasing a few extra items. Then simply place them in the designated collection bins before you leave.
Give Online
You can also support Feed Utah with a secure financial donation online. All online donations will be matched dollar for dollar up to $50,000. Utah Food Bank’s strong purchasing power means every $1 donated provides $14.46 worth of goods and services for neighbors facing hunger during this special match opportunity.
Organize a Community Food Drive
You can also organize a food drive in your neighborhood, workplace, school, or church.
After collecting donations, deliver food to participating locations on Saturday, March 14 from 9 AM to 2 PM. Donations are accepted at participating Associated Food Stores retailers statewide, as well as all Utah Food Bank distribution centers.
Please donate food that is commercially packaged, non-glass, non-perishable, and nutritious. Whenever possible, choose low-sodium and low-sugar options.

A Critical Time for Support
“This food drive comes at a critical time,” said Ginette Bott, President & CEO of Utah Food Bank. “As support from the holiday season begins to slow, far too many Utah families are still struggling with the high cost of living and uncertain access to food. Feed Utah gives everyone a simple way to make an immediate impact, whether by donating food while they shop, organizing a community drive, or giving online. When we come together statewide, we can provide meaningful relief and hope to thousands of our neighbors facing hunger.”
When communities unite, small acts of generosity add up quickly. Together, we can help ensure Utah families have the food they need this week and beyond.
