Host a Food Drive

Hosting a food & fund drive is a great way to support the 415,000 Utahns facing hunger.

Thank you for your interest in hosting a food &/or fund drive to benefit Utah Food Bank. Food drives that collect 500 lbs. or more (the equivalent of a filled SUV or pickup truck) are eligible for Utah Food Bank transportation services for supplies and food pick up. Please arrange to have your donations ready for pickup in a centralized location on the first floor of your building. If there is a large amount of food, we appreciate having someone from your organization available to assist our driver.

If you have questions about food drive registration, please contact our Food Drive Coordinator at 801.887.1266 or [email protected]. Many of the answers to your questions may be found in our Food Drive FAQs.

Please note: in order to receive supplies or transportation, we require a food drive to be registered one week prior to the start date.

We request that food donations meet the following criteria:

  • All natural ingredients
  • Low sodium
  • Low sugar
  • No high fructose corn syrup

Most needed food items:

  • Peanut Butter
  • Mac & Cheese
  • Canned Meats (tuna, chicken or beef)
  • Chili
  • SpaghettiOs/Ravioli
  • Canned Fruits
  • Other Boxed Meals
