Friends of the Coalition

The Friends of the Coalition, through its operating entity--Food and Care Coalition, LLC-- provides more than just food to the homeless and low income of Utah County.  We provide hope, dignity, and compassion to individuals who
need a hand up in an environment that uplifts and motivates.

Our primary mission began as a way to feed the hungry.  Over the years, we’ve expanded to offer other meaningful services, including hygiene, shower facilities, laundry services, internet access, haircuts, emergency shelter,
client outreach, and more.  We also partner with Wasatch Mental Health to provide on-site mental health services for our clients, and Share a Smile Foundation to provide dental services for our clients.

Our clients earn what they receive, instilling a sense of self-worth, accomplishment, and service.  Clients go out into the community to volunteer their time in exchange for services, rather than receiving a handout or being given a sense of entitlement.  Many of the services offered are contingent on the completion of community service hours. 

We believe that everyone has something they can give back.
