The silent heroes of our community are not always in the limelight—sometimes they’re stocking shelves and filling plates. The Murray Children’s Food Pantry has been a bastion of hope for the community since 2020, providing meals to thousands of individuals and families in the Salt Lake Valley. In 2023 alone, they distributed 85,000 meals to people in need.
The pantry’s mission is simple: give to anyone in need, no questions asked. It’s a philosophy that The Advocates wholeheartedly share. To support their mission, we are hosting a month-long food drive benefiting the pantry. We are excited to be a part of this great cause and to do some good for our community.
From April 1st to April 30th, 2024, The Advocates will be accepting non-perishable food items that will go directly to supporting the pantry and the Murray community. Donations can be made at The Advocates’ offices in Murray, American Fork, and Ogden. You can also contribute financially. See Event Details below for more information.
