In Northern Utah, the foundation worked with the Utah Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors to donate 1,000 pounds of protein to the Cache Community Food Pantry. An additional 1,000 pounds was donated to the Utah State University Student Nutrition Access Center (SNAC). The need for nutritious, high-quality food is particularly strong on college campuses. According to the SNAC website, 62% of students on campus experience low or very low food security.

SNAC Program Director Jonathon Walters said the donation of beef will go a long way toward helping students.

“During peak times of the year, we serve nearly 1,000 students each week,” he said. “This kind of donation allows us to keep an important protein source in stock and ensure that students have access to nutritious food.”
