OGDEN, Utah — Mike Larson started the Tri-City Exchange four years ago to help people who were struggling to pay for food during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now at the height of demand, feeding almost 2,000 families each week, his refrigerated trailer, known as a “reefer,” is breaking down. Larson needs to find someone to sell or donate a 50-foot reefer to him so he can keep providing meat to the community. It’s not just the Tri-City Exchange that needs help; the Utah Food Bank’s locations all over Utah need food, money and volunteers, said Ginette Bott, CEO.
