Salt Lake City, UT, October 13, 2026 — A new initiative aimed at addressing unpaid school lunch debt in Utah has been launched with the introduction of a specialty license plate. The “Feed Utah Kids” plate is the result of efforts by the Utah Lunch Debt Relief Foundation, an organization focused on alleviating financial burdens associated with school meals for students across the state.
The program is designed to provide a consistent funding stream for the foundation’s mission. For every annual renewal of the “Feed Utah Kids” license plate, a designated portion of the fee will be allocated to support the elimination of outstanding school lunch debt. Specifically, $30 from each plate renewal will be directed towards this cause.
The need for such a program is underscored by the significant amount of unpaid school lunch debt accumulated in Utah. Last year, the total figure for unpaid school lunch debt in Utah schools reached an estimated $3.8 million. This new specialty plate aims to help reduce this substantial financial obligation for local school districts and families.
The Utah Lunch Debt Relief Foundation is behind the initiative. Further details regarding the availability of the plates, the specific costs beyond the $30 contribution, and the timeline for their distribution were not immediately available. The foundation’s objective is to raise awareness and generate funds through this visible community effort.
