How to Find a Food Pantry in Your Utah County

Whether you are in Salt Lake City, Provo, St. George, Moab, or anywhere in between, help is closer than you think. If you or someone you know is facing food insecurity, Utah’s network of food pantries is ready to provide support with dignity and respect.

This guide will show you how to locate nearby food resources, check hours of operation, and access the assistance you need quickly and easily.

Step 1: Use the Utah Food Finder Tool

The Utah Food Bank and other local organizations offer online tools that allow you to search for food pantries by zip code, city, or county.

Visit utahfoodbank.org/get-help to use the interactive map. Enter your location to find food pantries, mobile distribution sites, and meal programs near you.

Step 2: Check Pantry Hours and Requirements

Each pantry operates differently. Some offer drive-thru pickup, while others may ask for a photo ID or proof of residence. Many pantries are open once or twice a week, and some require appointments. Be sure to:

  • Call ahead or check the pantry’s website for hours and services.

  • Bring bags or boxes to carry your food.

  • Ask about special services, such as diapers, hygiene kits, or senior boxes.
