HEALTHY LIVING IMPROVING UTAH’S HEALTH & WELL-BEING

When COVID-19 shut down schools and afterschool programs in March 2020, it canceled meals and snacks that those ser- vices provided as well. For some students, meals served by schools and Afterschools were the only meal that they received that day, and for many, it was the only healthy meal. It didn’t take long for our staff to spring into action and begin offering meals to anyone with children ages 18 & under in the community.
