Granite United Way Partners with Local Organizations to Fuel Our Families
Granite United Way, in partnership with local organizations in each of its six regions, is proud to provide a free meal box to those in need. Each of the boxes will include 12 pounds of produce, 5 pounds of meat, 5 pounds of dairy, and a gallon of 2% milk.
There are several distribution events being held across Granite United Way’s regions. Food is being provided by Vincent Farms through the USDA's Farmers to Families Food Box Program, and it is estimated that a total of more than 177,000 pounds of nutritious food will be distributed across Granite United Way’s service area. Local volunteers will be helping during each of the events.
“We are proud to partner with local organizations to meet the needs of our community. These times have become increasingly difficult for so many, and we know that together we can impact lives in a positive way,” said Patrick Tufts, President and CEO of Granite United Way. “Our neighbors need us, and we are ready to step up whenever, and however, we can.”
