OGDEN, Utah — A community banded together in Ogden after seeing a shelter in need of food and supplies.
“I was just on Twitter and saw a picture that someone posted of the fruit shelf and saw that they were pretty bare on supplies, so decided we were gonna do something about it," said Ogden native Devin Masters. “I mean we had donations from a ton of people in Salt Lake," said Masters."I had friends donate from across the country. We had donations come in from Kentucky from North Carolina. So it’s really cool to see people with Ogden ties help out."“We just went to Costco and loaded up as much as would fit in our car," said volunteer Joanna Smith."Our SUV is filled to the gills with as much as we could.”“We have family experiencing homelessness.
“We’re seeing about 53% of the people falling into a homeless situation being a brand new situation, never been homeless before, which is just, it’s a staggering number, and people are falling into housing and food insecurity quicker than we can find solutions," said Navidompsis.
