No one answered the phone at the Community Action Services and Food Bank but the paper I received at church says, "Recognizing the significant need in our communities the Utah National Parks Council of the Boy Scouts of America and other Wasastch Front councils have joined together to assist the food banks throughout the state of Utah."

You can donate anytime of the year. Here's a link to the  www.foodbanksofutah.org/find_list.html
