Let’s show the nation what Utahns bring to America’s Potluck!
Communities, neighbors, and families are invited to gather and share a meal on Sunday, July 5, 2026, to commemorate our nation's 250th anniversary. By bringing people together around the table, we can celebrate the freedoms we share and strengthen the sense of belonging that holds us together.
From the ancient recipes of Utah’s Native peoples, to pioneer dishes carried across the plains, to the vibrant traditions brought here from every corner of the world —- the tables of Utah represent the richness of our American stories and experiences.
How can you get involved?
Join the movement to build connections within your community by spreading the word and planning to host a potluck on Sunday, July 5, 2026. Better yet, walk across the street (or the hall) to find a neighbor to co-host the potluck with you!
Sign up, host a potluck, and get updates on our campaign.

Help Us Make Sure Everyone Gets a Full Plate for America's Potluck
Consider contributing to the Utah Food Bank or a community food pantry in your area for America's Potluck. Every potluck is better when everyone brings something to the table, your donation of non-perishable food items or a gift ensures your neighbors in Utah have access to fresh, healthy food.
