Utah Food Bank: How to Get Food
Utah Food Bank does not publish who qualifies, so the pantry decides — here is what it does say, and who to ask. It is a regional food bank, so it supplies pantries rather than handing out groceries itself: below is how to find the one near you.

Do I have to prove my income to get food from Utah Food Bank?
Utah Food Bank does not publish a requirement either way. Each partner pantry sets its own, so ask the pantry before you go, or call 801-978-2452. Do not assume you are turned away: most pantries in the Feeding America network serve anyone who says they need help.
How do I actually get food from Utah Food Bank?
Utah Food Bank mostly supplies partner agencies in every county, but it also runs pantries of its own that you can walk into. Steps: (1) use the Find Food page on utahfoodbank.org (linked from utahfoodbank.org/get-help/) to locate a partner agency near you; or (2) go to one of its own pantries, listed with addresses, phone numbers and hours on the Get Help page: Hurricane Valley Food Pantry (489 600 N, Hurricane, 435.767.0300), Southeastern Distribution Center (295 E 200 N, Blanding, 435.674.5498), Montezuma Creek Food Pantry (400 N 50th E, Montezuma Creek, 435.216.9117) and Monument Valley Food Pantry (Mile Post 0 US Highway 163, Monument Valley, 435.652.5114). If you are not sure where to turn, call 2-1-1 (8:00-18:00 daily), text your zip code to 801.845.2211 (Mon-Fri 8:00-17:00) or use 211utah.org. Other direct services: mobile pantries, mobile school pantry, Kids Cafe, the UFB Food Box Program, the UFB Diaper Program and CSFP.

Does Utah Food Bank cost anything?
Free. Nothing on the page asks people receiving food for payment.
What do I need to bring?
Not stated on the Utah Food Bank page we read. Bring an ID and something with your address if you have them, and bags or a box for the food — but do not stay home for lack of paperwork; most pantries take you anyway.
