ABC4 reported Community Action Services and Food Bank needs $100,000 to avoid possible service cuts
ABC4 reported that Community Action Services and Food Bank said depleted reserves could no longer cover essential operations. The organization sought $100,000 by October 30 and warned that food assistance, housing services and winter shelter operations could be reduced if funding was not secured. The board appointed Caitlin Rangel as interim CEO, added two retired business leaders and initiated an internal budget review.

Why this matters

Right of reply
Organization response
The board said it appointed an interim CEO experienced in Utah's emergency food system, added Val Hale and Sheldon Miner to the board, and assigned Miner to conduct an internal budget review. Board vice president Tara Riddle said the priority was preserving food, housing and cold-weather services.
