Feed Utah Kids.

We are eliminating school lunch debt in Utah, once and for all.

At the Utah Lunch Debt Relief Foundation (UTLDR), we believe every child deserves a nutritious meal at school, regardless of their family's financial situation.

Our Story

  • The Need

    Utah has $2.8M in school lunch debt.

    Students with debts receive lower-quality meals, leading to stigma and potential disadvantages in the classroom.

    Schools cover lunch debt costs with funds meant for salaries and enrichment programs, impacting educational quality for all students.

  • The Solution

    UTLDR is committed to:

    Providing Direct, School-By-School Debt Relief: We collect donations and partner with Utah school districts to pay off outstanding debts. Donate Now

    Advocating For A Permanent, Statewide Solution: Lunch debt accumulates every year that a statewide solution is not implemented in Utah. Get Involved

Together, we can provide immediate relief to Utah kids.

Our Progress

We’re relieving debts school-by-school across Utah. This month, help us pay the full debts of the next 10 Utah schools on our list.

TRACK PROGRESS

Eight states in the US have eliminated school lunch debt by enacting free school lunch programs. Could Utah be next?
