Help for today and tomorrow.
The mission of the Bountiful Community Food Pantry is to relieve hunger and increase self-sufficiency of Davis County residents living in need. While providing supplemental food is our primary focus, we provide referrals to other resources where possible.
Through extensive partnering with other successful organizations, we leverage existing programs to help our clients become more self-sufficient. The Bountiful Community Food Pantry is an equal opportunity provider.
