Utah Legislature Enlists Local Nutrition Coalition in Fight Against Food Insecurity

In 2020, Utah State Senator Luz Escamilla introduced a bill to create a Meals Safety Activity Drive to develop a plan for establishing meals safety throughout the state. The Activity Drive was fashioned in 2021. In July 2022, our SNAC was rebranded “The Meals Safety Council” and its membership expanded to incorporate the Division of Agriculture, the Farm Bureau, and representatives from refugee resettlement companies, Tribal governments, and better training. Utah’s SNAC already included representatives from SNAP-Ed, the Expanded Meals and Vitamin Schooling Program (EFNEP), WIC, the Division of Well being, Get Wholesome Utah, Utahns In opposition to Starvation and the SNAP State Company.
