Throughout the year, the Utah Food Bank receives donations from hundreds of food and fund drives hosted by various organizations, and by individuals who want to give back to the community. Because of the generosity of these businesses and individuals, the Utah Food Bank is able purchase food to distribute to pantries throughout Utah and even Mobile Pantry Trucks, which bring lots of fresh food to areas under served by traditional food pantries.
We were able to participate in a great panel discussion as part of Utah Food Bank’s Hunger Heroes event. The discussion was about their Mobile Pantry School program, which our employees volunteer at monthly. Other participants were representatives from C.R. England, Granite Education Foundation, and Columbia Elementary School.
We love being able to volunteer at Ronald McDonald House through their Adopt a Meal Program. It’s always a great team building activity for us, and we know how important it is for families to feel at home while they are in hospitals with a seriously ill or injured child. What better way to do that than through a delicious, home-style meal. We appreciate the great work done by Ronald McDonald House Charities. Please consider getting involved with their Adopt a Meal Program.
For most people, summer is a time for fun and relaxation. Unfortunately for some kids and their families, summer means worrying about whether there will be enough to eat. With many children losing access to school lunch and breakfast programs, more families make emergency food requests to help stretch their budgets. That’s why Les Olson Company is proud to sponsor Utah Food Bank’s annual Summer Business Food & Fund Drive, to encourage businesses and community groups across Utah to host their own food and fund drives during this critical time of need.
Members of our Leasing department met early at our Salt Lake office to prepare 90 lunch bags for children staying at The Road Home. We appreciate The Road Home and the important work they do to help people overcome the challenges of homelessness through emergency shelter, emergency services, case management, and housing.
Last week members of our sales team volunteered at Catholic Community Services of Utah, working on the lunch service at their St. Vincent de Paul Dining Hall. CCS works to provide a mid-day and evening meal to anyone who is hungry. We’re glad we had the opportunity to help with that!
We’re honored to have representatives from Les Olson Company on the Ronald McDonald House Charities’ Spirit of Children Gala Leadership Team.
