Community Action Services and Food Bank has eliminated 15 jobs and trimmed pantry hours in Provo, KUTV reported, and says it must raise $1.5 million by the end of the year to stay open into 2027. The organization has about $250,000 in donations and pledges so far. [1]
The cuts remove about 200 weekly appointment slots at the Provo pantry, according to Chief Impact Officer Jessica Miller, and the Heber pantry is scheduled to close in November. Miller said spending outpaced income, forcing the nonprofit to draw down its reserves, and that some grants reimburse only after rental and utility assistance has been paid out. [1]
"If we don't have that funding, we will need to close our doors," Miller said. Utah County's upfront funding is keeping this season's warming center open, and the organization served more than 24,000 people last year. [1]
