Weber County approves up to $50,000 in ARPA funds for local food banks
Summary
Commissioners approved Resolution 46-2025 to designate up to $50,000 of remaining ARPA funds to two local food banks (Catholic Community and Tri City) to address near-term food assistance needs; distribution details to be determined.
The Weber County Commission approved Resolution 46-2025 on Nov. 18, 2025, to allocate up to $50,000 of remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to two local food banks to help address increased need related to SNAP funding changes.
Commissioner Gage Frower explained the county has roughly $250,000–$300,000 remaining in ARPA funds that must be obligated by the end of 2026. He proposed designating up to $50,000 to two food banks (identified in the discussion as the Catholic Community and Tri City in North Ogden) with a lump-sum distribution method to enable matching donations and prompt use. The commission moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call.
Implementation: the county will determine the precise distribution method and timing within the next one to two weeks, and staff will process the ARPA appropriation. Commissioners noted the funds are leftover ARPA dollars and not general-tax revenues.
