We can eliminate the sales tax on food, move everyone over 65 out of Utah's homeless shelters and ensure no child is forced to sleep outside for a generation in Utah during this legislative session

1/24/2023

 
On January 19, 2023, the Coalition of Religious Communities and others came together at the Utah Capitol Building for Faith, Hunger and Homelessness Day. We want to thank Representatives Rosemary Lesser and Judy Weeks Rohner explaining why they are working to eliminate the sales tax on food, Gina Cornia from Utahns Against Hunger for explaining why Utah needs to provide additional funding for food pantries this year, Service Leadership Students from the Salt Lake Center for Education Excellence for educating everyone in the room about child and youth homelessness. Dr. Alex Jenson from BYU and students from his Applied Statistics Course for providing the findings from a survey on health and homelessness, Poet Jacqueline Osherow from Congregation Kol Ami for chanting a passage from Isaiah and our amazing Keynote Speaker, Rev. Vinnetta Golphin Wilkerson from Granger Community Christian Church.

If we continue to follow up o the issues discussed at this event this can be the year in which the Utah Legislature eliminates the sales tax on food and funds the construction of housing needed to move everyone over 65 out of Utah's homeless shelters and ensure there is enough space for families with children in the shelter system for the next twenty years.
