2020 Summer Business Food and Fund Drive
We just wrapped up our annual office food drive, benefiting Utah Food Bank. We have participated in the Summer Business Food and Fund Drive since 2011, but this year presented some unique challenges. Despite this, we were proud to present Utah Food Bank with the the donations made by our generous employees.
Les Olson Company supporting 2019 Utah Food Bank donation.
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.
2017 Mobile Pantry Panel at Hunger Heroes
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.
2017 Summer Business Food & Fund Drive Sponsorship
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.
