Mayor Ralph Becker and Mayor Peter Corroon Encourage Salt Lake County
Residents to Donate Generously to Local Food Pantries During "Food
Ride" Competition with Utah County
Mayor Becker to Participate in "Food Ride" from Provo to SLC with Provo Mayor
SALT LAKE CITY- Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker and Salt Lake
County Mayor Peter Corroon are urging all residents of Salt Lake
County to give generously to the Utah Food Bank between now and
December 13, as part of a friendly competition between residents of
Salt Lake and Utah County.
The Mayors are hoping everyone will give to Salt Lake County area
food pantries in the spirit of generosity and friendly competition
between the two counties. Donations can be dropped off at any food
pantry, Jiffy Lube or Smith's location.
On Saturday, December 13, Provo City Mayor Lewis K. Billings will
bike from Provo to Salt Lake City to make good on the challenge the
two mayors made when they attended the BYU vs. UofU football game.
As mayor of the losing team, Billings will bike approximately 50
miles to Salt Lake City to deliver a donation for the Utah Food Bank.
Mayor Becker will join him for the ride. The two mayors are using the
event to encourage the public to donate to local food banks in their
areas, calling the event a "food ride" rather than a "food drive."
The "Rivalry Food Ride" will begin at 11 a.m. on the north steps of
the Provo City Center at 351 W. Center Street and will end at
approximately 4 p.m. on the east steps of the Salt Lake City and
County Building at 452 S. State Street. The public is invited to
join the mayors for any part of the ride.
