As the government shutdown continues, thousands of Utah families could soon lose access to critical food assistance. FOX 13 is teaming up with with Utah Food Bank to help ensure no Utahn goes hungry.
From Wednesday, October 29 through Friday, October 31, Utahns are encouraged to donate money or food to help families struggling to put meals on the table through FOX 13’s “Scare Away Hunger” campaign.
Community partners Granite Credit Union, Cyprus Credit Union, and the Scripps Howard Fund are joining the effort by pledging to match donations up to $5,000 each, for a combined total of $15,000 in matching funds.
HOW TO HELP
You can make a difference in several ways:
- Online: fox13now.com/scarehunger
- Text to give: Text SCAREHUNGER (all one word) to 50155
- In person: Drop off nonperishable food donations at any Granite Credit Union location through Friday
Together, we can make sure Utah families don’t go hungry during this critical time — one meal, one donation, one act of kindness at a time.
This campaign is a FOX 13 News initiative in collaboration with the Scripps Howard Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions to this campaign will be used to support the Utah community and are tax deductible.
