Bountiful Community Food Pantry

Child hunger is a problem that has many negative impacts including compromised health, poor academic performance and behavioral issues.  In parts of Davis County, 27% of children live in homes with food hardships.  To help these children, Title I schools provide free/reduced breakfast and lunch on school days.  Weekends and holidays for these children are often difficult because either there is no food in their homes or there is no one to prepare food for them.

The Bountiful Community Food Pantry is helping to address child hunger by working with 26 Davis County schools.  Each Friday, 1200+ bags of child-friendly food will be delivered to 19 Davis County schools for at-risk children to take home for the weekend.  These bags, called Pantry Packs, will contain healthy, single-portion food items that children can use to supplement their meals at home.

 All donations received for the Giving Tuesday 2017 will go towards Pantry Packs.
