Monthly Food Box Delivery to Homebound Seniors

Save to Favorites

Utah Food Bank provides free, monthly food assistance to homebound people with disabilities and seniors living in poverty, delivered right to the client’s home. Each food box contains approximately one week’s worth of non-perishable food, plus as much fresh food as available.

Last year, 11,724 of these food boxes were delivered-primarily by caring volunteers-who were often some of the few visitors these clients received. Utah Food Bank is often the recipient of "luxury" items such as fresh flowers and even pet food that, when delivered, make life just a little nicer for these homebound clients.
