Tan’s Treats

 Fighting Hunger, One Child At A Time

Host a Food and/or Fund Drive

Hosting a food or fund drive is a great way to support the thousands of Utahn’s facing hunger.

Thank you for your interest in hosting a food and/or fund drive to benefit Tan’s Treats. One of the ways that you can help solve childhood hunger in our community is by donating food that is non-perishable and easy to prepare. These types of foods are easy for kids to take home over the weekend and quickly and easily prepare by themselves, if needed.

If there is a large amount of food, we appreciate having someone from your organization available to deliver your donation or assist with a coordinated pickup from our driver.

If you have questions about food drive registration, please contact our us at (435) 627-3163 or support@tanstreats.com. Many of the answers to your questions may be found in our Food Drive FAQs.

We request that food donations meet the following criteria:

  • Shelf stable
  • Easy to Open
  • Easy to Prepare

  • 2 Breakfast Items
  • 2 Lunch Items
  • 2 Snacks
  • 2 Dinner Items

Most Needed Food Items:

  • Peanut Butter
