Season to Give

This is a great time of year to check the expiration dates on your food storage/emergency prep items. It's also a great time of year to make donations to our local Food Bank, the Bountiful Food Pantry.
Did you now you can do both at the same time? The Bountiful Food Pantry will take your donations of expired food items up to three years beyond the expiration dates - yes, three years beyond the expiration dates. There are a couple of common sense rules, however: if cans are bulging, NO GO - just discard them in your trash - opened or damaged goods - same thing - just get rid of it.
The Pantry is located at 480 E 150 N. Bountiful UT 84010 and you can contact them at 801-299-8464. Usual hours of operation for drop-off are:
Mon thru Sat: 8AM – Noon
Tues/Wed/Thurs: 6PM – 8PM
Sun: Closed


Once you've done your inventory, it might be a good idea to see if you need to replace the expired food, or even increase your storage because your family may have grown since your last inventory.

If you have any questions, please contact me at any time - you can reach me at my email address, or on Facebook. If you are not a member of the Valentine & Mountain View Emergency Prep page, friend me and I can add you.
