  • 2019 Annual Report
    President & CEO Message After my first complete year as President & CEO, I can safely say I am immensely proud of the work we do, and the way we do it, to feed the 374,000 Utahns facing hunger. With an amazing staff, aided by an army of volunteers, and the support of our community, we distributed 45.7 million pounds of food last year. That's 38 million meals! It was the highest distribution year in our 115-year history, a milestone that’s hard to celebrate when the number of food-insecure Utahns had been declining in the past few years. This indicates that while there may be fewer Utahns facing hunger, they are needing more help, and for longer periods of Ginette Bott President & CEO time, than before. The growth and success of our Mobile School Pantry program in recent years has been remarkable. At the same time, it uncovered an unexpected need—the lack of resources at some of our local schools is so great that food needs to be available to students and their families every day. To that end, we expanded our in-school pantry program, which is now offered in 23 local schools and universities. Adding in-school pantries has enabled us to expand our Mobile School Pantry program, adding new locations in Utah and Washington Counties, which raised our total to 69 sites. Kent Liston 2019 also brought with it a federal government shutdown. This crisis was unlike any we had seen in recent Chief Financial Officer history. It shone a light on the many Americans struggling to keep afloat, with millions just one financial setback away from disaster.

F. Christensen PREFACE From 1865 until 1871 the Territory of Utah was the scene of a little­ known war. The Ute and Piute Indians responding to pressure of white settlers devastated much of Utah south of Spanish Fork. During the first three years of warfare the Mormon Settlements south of the Utah Valley struggled to exist. The next three years saw improving conditions but a continuation of raids by the Navaho in the south. This was a private war.
