Pantry Packs in the Park event a huge success

By Tom Haraldsen

A new tradition may have begun on June 21 when the Bountiful Food Pantry held its first Pantry Packs in the Park event. Held in Bountiful City Park, it brought together volunteers and family members in the community to assemble the packs of food that are given to students in Davis County who face hunger.
