Bountiful Food Pantry Seeks Evening Volunteers and Announces New Mobile Pantry Site

The Bountiful Food Pantry is calling on community members to volunteer and help fight hunger while spreading kindness. With a growing need for support, the pantry is especially looking for volunteers for evening shifts, perfect for those with busy daytime schedules. Volunteer tasks include packing food boxes, organizing donations, and assisting with daily operations. Even a few hours of service can make a big difference—and volunteers can enjoy a sweet bonus of candy while they work.

In addition to seeking volunteers, the pantry has announced a new mobile pantry site to better serve families in need. The mobile pantry will be available on March 21st from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM (or while supplies last) at 562 S 1000 E, Clearfield, UT 84015. This drive-thru service allows visitors to stay in their cars while volunteers load pre-packed food boxes directly into vehicles, ensuring a quick and convenient experience for those seeking assistance.

Residents interested in volunteering, particularly during evening shifts, or learning more about the mobile pantry can visit the Bountiful Food Pantry website or follow them on facebook | Instagram for updates.

South Davis Jr. High to Host Free Mental Health Screenings for Youth on March 13

South Davis Junior High School will host a free mental health screening event for youth aged 11 to 18 on March 13, from 4 to 7 p.m. The event aims to support young people's social and emotional well-being by addressing key mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, suicide risks, and safety issues.

While the screening is designed to help identify areas where additional support may be needed, it is not a full psychological evaluation, and no clinical diagnoses will be made. The event requires the presence of a parent or guardian during the screening.

Families interested in participating must pre-register by March 6 at dbhutah.org/screening. For further details or to schedule an appointment, contact Angie at 801-336-1742.

A similar mental health screening event tailored for elementary-aged children is planned for Fall 2025.

Utah Man Demands $2,001 in Two Bank Robberies, Citing FBI Felony Threshold

A 47-year-old Utah man, Robert Buckley Hardy, has been indicted for allegedly robbing two Chase Bank branches in Salt Lake City and Cottonwood Heights on separate days.

On January 30, Hardy entered the Cottonwood Heights branch, handed the teller an envelope containing documents referencing criminal activities and an “active bomb threat,” and left. One note demanded $2,001, claiming the amount would prompt an FBI response due to felony thresholds.

A week later, Hardy robbed a Chase Bank in Salt Lake City, again handing over documents and requesting at least $2,001. Surveillance footage and a driver’s license photo led to his identification and arrest. Hardy now faces federal bank robbery charges.
