Six sculptures made of bagged, canned and boxed food are on display at the Salt Lake City Public Library and will soon be donated to those in need.

The sculptures, on display through Friday, are part of a food drive for the Utah Food Bank — organized by the Salt Lake County Health Department and the City Library — focused on healthy food.

“Hungry people in need deserve healthy food options – in fact, they are often the members of our community who are most in need of nutritious, healthy foods,” said Leslie Chan, dietitian at the county health department.
