The Wright Conversation
A conversation on mental wellness to give our youth a sense of comfort when it comes to being aware of their possible mental illness and having the courage to seek help. Panelists included Mia Wright, Allison Spurrier, Craig Rydalch, and JD DuBois
Spread Love
This Valentine’s Day event was geared towards helping women shelters in the Salt Lake City area. Over 2,000 love bags were put together and filled with feminine hygiene products, snacks, and personalized cards from the guests. The thought behind this project was for everyone to take the time to write an uplifting and thoughtful message—and the chance to be creative!
Winter
Sandwich Project
This event was created to provide Salt Lake City shelters with gloves, socks, hats and other items that are in needed during winter. Community members were also able to make over 1,500 sandwiches bags and winter clothing donations along with personalized notes.
The Sandwich Project
For our premier event, we put together over 1,000 sandwich bags and also provided toiletries for the homeless. Winter gloves, socks, and hats were donated to help keep the local homeless community warm during the winter.
