Having a job doesn’t always mean having enough.

Across Utah, more working families are finding that even as their paychecks grow, the cost of housing, groceries, childcare, healthcare and other essentials is growing faster.

Every paycheck carries two truths: what you earn on paper and what’s actually left to live on.

Our latest article looks at the widening gap between wages and the real cost of getting by, and why more hardworking Utahns are turning to food assistance to help bridge it.

Thanks to the incredible team at Acima proceeds from their golf tournament will help provide 219,000 meals for Utahns facing hunger. That’s enough food to help feed 203 families of four for three months.
 
As if that wasn’t enough, their team also rolled up their sleeves and spent the day volunteering in our warehouse, helping support our mission firsthand.
 
Thank you for your generosity, hard work, and commitment to helping our neighbors have access to the food they need.

What does it really cost just to get by in Utah?

For a single adult living alone in Salt Lake County, the answer is approximately $18.27 per hour after taxes just to cover basic living expenses. That translates to roughly $45,000–$48,000 in annual earnings before taxes.

Not to build savings.
Not to prepare for an emergency.
Not to get ahead.

Just to cover the basics.

It’s one reason a steady job and a paycheck don’t always equal food security.

Our latest article explores the widening gap between what Utah families earn and what it actually costs to live.
