Community Action Services and Food Bank will temporarily close its doors effective November 1, 2026, according to an October 30 statement. The decision comes as the Board of Trustees works to determine the best course of action for the organization amidst a difficult financial environment.
The temporary closure follows declining grant funding and donations alongside a growing demand for services. The organization stated that it will no longer accept financial, food, in-kind, or other donations effective immediately.
Interim CEO Caitlin Rangel said the organization is saddened that the need for these services has not gone away. She expressed gratitude to those who have provided time, resources, expertise, and heart to the organization.
Chief Impact Officer Jessica Miller noted that recent contributions allowed the organization to remain open through the end of October. The Board of Trustees is currently determining the sustainability of the organization into the future.
For generations, the organization has worked to help individuals and families overcome housing instability, poverty, and hunger. Its work has historically involved serving families in crisis throughout Utah, Summit, and Wasatch counties.
