Community Action Services & Food Bank has been a true friend to us and to this community, and we’re sad to see them pausing operations. Thank you to everyone who gave their time, their food, and their heart to this work. Our community is better for it.

If you are in need of assistance, United Way 211 is here to help. Call 211 or head to 211utah.org for free referrals to resources.

An Important Update from Community Action Services & Food Bank

After 59 years of serving individuals and families across Utah, Wasatch, and Summit counties, Community Action Services & Food Bank will temporarily close effective November 1, 2026.

This is a difficult moment for our organization and the community we have had the privilege of serving. We are deeply grateful to the employees, volunteers, donors, partners, and community members who have supported this work and helped neighbors facing hunger, housing instability, and poverty.

We recognize that this closure creates uncertainty for individuals and families who rely on these services. If you are seeking assistance in Utah County, the following organizations may be able to help:

Food Assistance: Tabitha's Way
Rental Assistance: Boys & Girls Club of Utah County or NeighborWorks Mountain Country Home Solutions
Emergency Shelter: Salt Lake County Shelter Resources
Warming Center: Operations will transition under the direction of Utah County.

Effective immediately, CASFB will no longer accept financial, food, in-kind, or other donations.

We are grateful for every person who has been part of our story over the past 59 years. Thank you for standing alongside our neighbors and believing in the power of community.

We’re so proud to share that our CEO, Bill Hulterstrom, received the 2026 Alumni Achievement Award from the BYU Marriott School of Business.

Each year during homecoming week, Brigham Young University colleges recognize alumni for their contributions to their fields, their communities, and the university. Bill was honored at an awards luncheon and again on the field at halftime of the homecoming football game.

Those of us who work with Bill see these qualities every day. His care for this community and the people in it shapes everything we do at United Way of Utah County, and it’s wonderful to see that recognized.

Congratulations, Bill. We’re grateful to have you leading our team. 👏

BYU Cougars showed up big for Utah County today.💙

BYU Athletics staff and student-athletes hit the community in two ways:

🌱 Weeding, planting, and prepping a shed for a future mural at the Community Action community garden in Provo—including BYU football’s own Tiger 🐅 Bachmeier, sleeves rolled up and hands in the dirt right alongside everyone else!

🫟 Painting playground games at Meadow Brook Elementary in Springville, where kids could NOT contain their excitement. “BYU! BYU!” the whole recess. The students clearly consider the Cougars part of their team.

Grateful for partners like Community Action Services and Food Bank and Meadow Brook Elementary, and for BYU Athletics staff and student-athletes who understand that being a Cougar means showing up off the field too.

It’s been one week since our community came together to serve across Utah County on Day of Caring, and the impact is still sinking in. Over 2,000 volunteers from more than 50 companies rolled up their sleeves to complete 90 projects throughout our entire county. That kind of turnout is nothing short of incredible. Thank you to everyone who showed up and reminded us that our community cares. ❤️

To everyone who helped coordinate and plan these service projects, you are the real MVPs. Thank you for making this happen!

And a special thanks to all of the volunteer photographers that captured these awesome moments!

We’re still riding the high from our Day of Caring breakfast! 🥞

Over 2,000 volunteers filled the room to kick off a day of service, and watching our community show up like that never gets old.

And a special thank you to Marriott Provo for breakfast, Provo Coffee + Cafe for the coffee, Nu Skin for the use of their lawn, and Audio Visions for sound and visuals.

Utah County, you showed up. BETTER TOGETHER ❤️💛💙

The biggest service day of the year is in ONE WEEK!🎉

Painting playgrounds is just one of the projects happening next week. Different tasks, same reason people show up: connection, and doing something nice for someone else.

We’ll see you next Thursday!

Huge thank you to Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine first year students that helped paint Taylor Elementary’s playground earlier this summer!
