Representatives from Les Olson Company sat down with KUTV’s Holly Menino to discuss our involvement with Utah Food Bank’s Summer Business Food and Fund Drive. This is our 5th-annual office food drive, and we have been the official sponsor for the past 3 years. Our employees have made some incredibly generous donations to help make sure kids stay fed this summer, and we encourage other businesses to get involved by hosting their own office food drives.
