When times get tough, communities rise together.
With the recent pause of SNAP benefits in Utah, thousands of families are facing uncertainty about how they’ll put food on the table. In response, the USANA Foundation joined forces with local partners, volunteers, and school districts to ensure that no child goes hungry during this difficult time.
On November 5, 2025, the Foundation hosted “SNAP Relief – Partnership in Action” at the USANA Kids Eat warehouse in West Valley City—a large-scale community event that will bring together hundreds of volunteers to pack and distribute an estimated 3,000 weekend food bags for children and families in need across the Salt Lake Valley.
