This program began at six area Associated Food Stores the day after Thanksgiving and will continue to run until December 18, 2009.  Participating stores in Salt Lake, Davis and Weber Counties are selling pre-bagged groceries for donation to the Utah Food Bank.  Van Cott will volunteer time in filling grocery bags for purchase and donation; will encourage employees, friends and clients to donate; and will provide a cash donation to the Utah Food Bank on December 21, 2009.
