Utah Community Action (UCA) is seeking volunteers to help distribute meals.
βMy kids love the food, both my one-year-old and three-year-old. Theyβll even eat zucchini bread now,β offered a local parent who utilizes this service regularly. βI love that they get a variety of foods and healthy meals.β
Jennifer Godfrey, CEO of UCA, said, βItβs important that we continue to adapt our services to the ever-changing needs of our community. This program allows families to meet their needs and build a safety net to transition back to self-reliance.β
UCAβs Summer Dinners, which is the only program of its kind in the state, will run through August 7, with pick up times 4 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, at six UCA Head Start locations in Salt Lake County and Magna. The program, filling an essential gap in food assistance programs in the area and is open to the public. No documentation is required to receive food.
The meal packs are free-of-charge to all children 18 and under and include a hot, healthy dinner for that evening as well as a sack breakfast for the next day. For $3.00, adults can also receive a hot dinner.
On the first day of the curbside pickup program on June 1, 2020, UCA served 409 children and adults with 818 meals. The agency saw an increase in demand on the second day, serving 900 meals, and expects the demand and access to its meal program to increase daily as more of the public becomes aware of this service.

People used to say a group of hobbits smoked their pipe weed and padded around on their furry feet in this little cul de sac off 1300 East near Westminster. Others claimed a family of Little People lived there and would chase away outsiders and curiosity-seekers who happened in.β β
β β
But, actually, the eccentric street of tiny houses are on a wooded lot once owned by George Allen, a doctor and animal lover (he was instrumental in founding @hoglezoo and @tracyaviary) He and his family lived in the log cabin and rented out the little houses to students or anyone who wanted to live in such a small space.β β

Holding back tears, the owner of our beloved Himalayan Kitchen, Surya Bastakoti, told @fox13now that they "might go out of business" β β
β β
Himalayan Kitchen has long been one of our favorite local restaurants. A trusty go-to for lunch or after work drinks and a heart-warming dinner. A place to bring out-of-towners (veg and vegan friendly) for a special experience only found here in SLC. Always filling, with a true sense of nourishment in every bite. Food to feel good about.
EVERYTHING on their menu is full of flavor and authenticity. Himalayan Kitchenβs cuisine is required to be authentic because itβs a gathering place for the Salt Lake City Nepali and the local climbing community. They know Nepal.β β
β β
COVID-19 has completely devastated our local restaurant communityβthese are our friends and family. Help them out. If you have the means, order something yummy for NYE dinner and support Himalayan Kitchen or any of your favorite local restaurants. β β

Mary photobombs Lisa Barlow at the premiere party for Real Housewives of Salt Lake. Below is a snippet from Mary's last editor's letter:β
β
"Itβs all a little crazy.β
Sometime in 2020, the world stopped making sense for a lot of us. Between one of the ugliest election cycles the U.S. has ever been through and the most mysterious disease most of us have ever experienced, normal was canceled. We canβt get together with friends, hug our loved ones, be in the room with them when they die. But somehow we have to go on, right? Somehow we have to continue to work and love and laugh. This issue of Salt Lake magazine holds a lot of frivolity, the main one being an extremely silly TV show, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. There I am in a pink fur coat in a car with our cover housewife, Lisa Barlow and her boys."β
Pick up our Jan/Feb issue at your local grocer and read the full letter. β€οΈ

There was never a time there wasnβt Mary Malouf. Until now. Today, Mary died when a rogue wave swept her out to sea off the coast of Northern California. Only she β perhaps the worldβs foremost lover of Bronte, BBC mysteries and, of course, Moby Dick β would appreciate such poetic drama.
