SALT LAKE CITY- Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker and Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon are urging all residents of Salt Lake County to give generously to the Utah Food Bank between now and December 13, as part of a friendly competition between residents of Salt Lake and Utah County.
The Mayors are hoping everyone will give to Salt Lake County area food pantries in the spirit of generosity and friendly competition between the two counties. Donations can be dropped off at any food pantry, Jiffy Lube or Smith’s location.
On Saturday, December 13, Provo City Mayor Lewis K. Billings will bike from Provo to Salt Lake City to make good on the challenge the two mayors made when they attended the BYU vs. UofU football game.
As mayor of the losing team, Billings will bike approximately 50 miles to Salt Lake City to deliver a donation for the Utah Food Bank. Mayor Becker will join him for the ride. The two mayors are using the event to encourage the public to donate to local food banks in their areas, calling the event a “food ride” rather than a “food drive.”
