Thanks to the incredible team at Acima proceeds from their golf tournament will help provide 219,000 meals for Utahns facing hunger. That’s enough food to help feed 203 families of four for three months.
 
As if that wasn’t enough, their team also rolled up their sleeves and spent the day volunteering in our warehouse, helping support our mission firsthand.
 
Thank you for your generosity, hard work, and commitment to helping our neighbors have access to the food they need.

What does it really cost just to get by in Utah?

For a single adult living alone in Salt Lake County, the answer is approximately $18.27 per hour after taxes just to cover basic living expenses. That translates to roughly $45,000–$48,000 in annual earnings before taxes.

Not to build savings.
Not to prepare for an emergency.
Not to get ahead.

Just to cover the basics.

It’s one reason a steady job and a paycheck don’t always equal food security.

Our latest article explores the widening gap between what Utah families earn and what it actually costs to live.

When putting food on the table becomes a struggle, people may feel like they have nowhere to turn. A new survey highlights just how many Americans are facing financial strain—and why access to food assistance matters. If you or someone you know is struggling, please know: there is help, and there is no shame in asking. ❤️

A new survey found 30% of American adults say they have shoplifted. Experts say the findings may reflect financial desperation as families struggle with the cost of necessities.
