How to give and helpSouthern Utah
Food, rent help, a clinic that will see you without insurance. Most of it already exists here. What's missing is the person who knows where it is, calls ahead, and gets you to the right door on the right day. That's what we do, and it's what your donation pays for.

For individuals & organizationsFrom our directory
Every entry in our directory was called, visited, or read closely by a real person. The notes are the useful part. Here are three, word for word.
Checked: Verified
Food & Everyday EssentialsA food pantry in Hurricane run by the Utah Food Bank where you pick up free groceries. It opened in a large new building in June 2024.
Good to know
Mon 10-2; Tue 10-12 and 2-4; Wed 11-1 and 3-6; Thu 10-12 and 2-4; Fri 10-2; 2nd Sat 9-12. WATCH THE MIDDAY CLOSURES - arriving at 1pm Tuesday means a locked door. Wednesday evening to 6pm is the slot that works for people who work days.
Checked: Call to confirm
Health & WellnessA teaching clinic where dental hygiene students clean teeth and take x-rays, watched by qualified instructors. Much cheaper than a normal dentist - most things cost $5 to $40.
Good to know
CLOSED BETWEEN SEMESTERS AND ALL SUMMER - someone in pain in July will find the doors shut. Always ring first. This is hygiene work only: cleanings, x-rays, sealants. NOT fillings or extractions. Email DHclinic@utahtech.edu
Checked: Call to confirm
Mental Health & RecoveryA walk-in place to go when someone is in a mental health or substance crisis and needs help right now but doesn't want a regular emergency room. No appointment needed. A nurse checks you in and a crisis worker does a medical and mental health assessment.
Good to know
Finding it matters: it's on Level 4 of the North Tower, NOT at the main ER entrance. Their page loads hours by script and never shows them - say 'walk in any time, but call 435-251-4480 first' rather than promising 24/7.
Each of these is one of 250 resources we keep track of.

Most of what we do would count as overhead somewhere else. Here, it's the whole job. Nobody else pays for the finding, the calling ahead, the checking, and the handoff. That's the part that turns a list of names into help a person can actually use.
“Before spending charitable money or recreating a service, ask: does this resource already exist?”
Reading the small print, the hours, and the eligibility rules so you don't have to.
Confirming a place is open before anyone drives across town to a locked door.
Places move, close, and change their hours. A list is only useful if someone keeps checking it.
Answering the message from someone who doesn't know where to start, and walking them to the right door.

Each of these is a real situation in southern Utah, posted by someone close to it. We list what's needed, not who's hurting.

Hurricane, UT
Ongoing
A flash flood tore through Hurricane on Friday, August 14, 2026. Homes filled with water and mud.
Dixie Downs Road, St. George
Ongoing
Uninsured and still displaced since June. The home has to be replaced, not repaired.
Riverside Drive, St. George
Ongoing
56 people displaced in June. Most still have not landed. We need funds and household items.
The Nonprofit Roundtable
Please do. We're not trying to replace anyone. Southern Utah's nonprofits sit at one table with us to say what they do, what they're short on, and where the overlaps are, so nobody duplicates anybody. Before we spend a dollar we ask the same question every time.
“How can we support what already exists?”
Give
A gift to Kindness in Motion pays for the part of helping that nobody else funds: the finding, the calling, the checking, and the handoff. Give once or monthly.
