Helping Put Food on Utah’s Tables — Together
Welcome to Bridge Utah.
For years, we have worked quietly behind the scenes, focused on serving Utah communities with compassion and purpose. This website offers a closer look at our mission, our story, and the work we remain committed to carrying forward.
We believe every partnership helps build a stronger bridge toward hope, stability, and nourishment for families across Utah. We invite you to join us in making a lasting impact.
Thank you for your support.
“If you cannot feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”
- Mother Teresa
When you contribute to Bridge Utah, you are helping someone get through the next meal or two, and perhaps feed their children, essentially giving them the opportunity to allocate strained or scant financial resources for other critical expenses. You are taking life’s sharp edge off of strained budgets. Our organization cannot replace other forms of well-intentioned welfare, but we can place meat in refrigerators and produce on tables, so families and individuals can sort out their own welfare with dignity, hope, and better clarity.
Human capital. Dedicated effort. Financial resources. Consulting expertise. There are ways for anyone who wants to contribute to do so. Thank you for your sacred time, talent, and contributions.

Scott Godown
Scott is a family man, business man, and MAN, does he love quality eats (you can read his food reviews on Google). Scott and wife, Natalie, started the first iteration of Bridge Utah from their home, then near Provo and Salt Lake City. Those dedicated hours of service to families and individuals in their community planted the seeds of success that would ultimately result in the formation of a formal food pantry operation in Southern Utah. Scott is involved in a variety of business enterprises, including founding Black Ridge Pools in the St. George, UT area.

Bill Ennis
Scott approached Bill and wife Michelle with the opportunity to put in a few volunteer hours and make a huge difference in people’s lives. Eventually, those efforts led to Steve and Alice Baugh and the formation of a robust food pantry in the Hurricane, UT Valley.
Bill has an extensive background in graphic design and illustration and started the county’s first paddling shop, Dig Paddlesports, in 2011 with Michelle and all five of their children.

Steve Baugh
Steve and wife, Alice, opened the doors to physical space in their manufacturing business location to create a thriving food pantry. Volunteers contribute time and resources to a regular schedule of operations, thanks to the Baugh’s space and dedicated management of the pantry.
Both have been active in a variety of community church, civic, and other volunteer organizations for many years, as well as running a unique nutritional supplement business together.
