Utah Food Bank

Mobile Food Pantry

Utah Food Bank is excited to announce the expansion of our services in Washington City! We have been providing services in Washington County for 35 years—and our physical distribution center in St. George started operations in 2010, further expanding the work we are able to do. Our data shows that an estimated 14.3% of Washington County’s population—that’s 21,270—face food insecurity. On April 25th from 11 am to 1 pm, the parking lot of the old Nisson grocery store at the corner of Telegraph and Main Street in Washington City will become a site for the mobile food pantry service. This mobile food pantry is open to the public and will return the last Thursday of each month going forward. We want people to be able to take advantage of this opportunity, which is completely free of any charge or fees. While many are able to visit traditional brick-and-mortar food distribution sites, such as the Switchpoint Community Resource Center in St. George, Washington City currently does not have any such agency. We are committed to bringing these resources closer to the residents of the city, and we thank Washington City for their tremendous help in this endeavor to better serve these residents.
