USANA Foundation Spreads Holiday Cheer
This holiday season, the USANA Foundation has made a significant impact by delivering over 5,100 food bags to families in need. Through their dedicated Kids Eat program, the foundation ensures that no child goes hungry during the winter break when school meals are not available.
Community Support During the Holidays
The winter months can be challenging for families relying on school meals, which is why the USANA Foundation mobilizes volunteers each year for their holiday food pack initiative. This year, an impressive total of 5,143 food bags were prepared, providing the equivalent of 205,720 meals to children in Utah.
Volunteers Making a Difference
Volunteers played a crucial role in this initiative. A total of 632 volunteers from 158 families and organizations contributed almost 1,900 hours of service to support the food distribution. Each bag, filled with 40 nutritious meals, highlights the community's dedication to combating food insecurity.
Addressing Food Insecurity
Food insecurity remains a pressing issue in many communities. Michelle Benedict, director of global programs for the USANA Foundation, emphasized, "One in nine children is at risk of hunger. While our food packs make a difference during the school year, the holidays require special efforts." The foundation's volunteer-driven initiatives provide a vital source of support for families during these challenging times.
Year-Round Efforts for Kids
The USANA Foundation has been actively working to alleviate hunger year-round. Thanks to the support of generous volunteers and donations, the Kids Eat program successfully delivered 46,738 weekend bags last year, equivalent to 327,166 meals, to 49 schools across Utah. This effort showcases the power of community involvement and dedication to supporting local families.
