Mission Statement

Tabitha’s Way Local Food Pantry's mission is to help individuals and families through tough times by providing temporary emergency food assistance, resources for self-reliance, and encouraging neighbors to help neighbors.

Description

We provide a robust solution to individuals and families who are facing food insecurity in our community. Although for many the need for food assistance is temporary, the need for a local food pantry is ongoing because the unexpected tough times which can lead to food insecurity have no socioeconomic boundaries. Hungry people come from all walks of life; most are our hardworking neighbors. Children are among the largest populations we serve.

We envision establishing "No Hunger Zones" throughout Utah County by encouraging communities to take ownership of the problem of hunger. A No Hunger Zone exists when a community takes responsibility to proactively resolve food insecurity for a minimum of 3 consecutive years.

The founding of Tabitha’s Way Local Food Pantry was inspired by a biblical scripture in the book of Acts 9:36-41 in which a woman named Tabitha provided food and clothing to the needy. "Tabitha’s Way" is a metaphor reminding us of the opportunity and responsibility to serve our community with love, just as Tabitha served hers.
