USANA, through its philanthropic organization the USANA Foundation, is working to alleviate the growing food insecurity in Utah as a result of the ongoing government shutdown and SNAP funding cuts. This week, USANA gathered community partners and volunteers to assemble 3,000 bags of food for children and families affected by the SNAP cutbacks.
The philanthropic event was held at the USANA Foundation Headquarters where volunteers from local organizations, including Bountiful Food Pantry, For the Kids, the Utah Department of Cultural and Community Engagement and Kristen Andrus’ Gather for Impact, formed assembly lines to pack food and nutrition for these in-need students and families. Five Salt Lake City area school districts, as well as two nonprofits and food pantries will distribute the 3,000 bags of food.
“This event demonstrated the incredible impact that collaboration can have,” said Brian Paul, USANA Foundation President. “When organizations and individuals come together to support families in crisis, we strengthen our entire community. One in six kids in Utah are at risk of going hungry, and being able to help feed these families is what the USANA Foundation is all about.”
