Ginette Bott and Kenzie Ferguson: Food insecurity is a hidden crisis in Utah (Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Volunteer Ashley Price helps load orange juice into people's trunks as the Utah Food Bank does a big food giveaway at the Maverik Center in West Valley City on Friday, April 24, 2020, as hundreds line up for drive-thru pick up. By Ginette Bott and Kenzie Ferguson | Special to The Tribune | Dec. 10, 2020, 11:24 p.m. Utah Food Bank has been feeding hungry families in our community for over 117 years. Before the pandemic, 1 in 8 people faced food insecurity. Because of COVID-19 and associated economic crises, that number has increased to 1 in 6 — many who have never had to use a food bank before. Unfortunately, we believe this trend will continue for some time.
