Million Meal Event

-

 Brethren


One in five Utah children are unsure where their next meal will come from - and that food insecurity has significant implications on physical and mental health. There is a project currently listed on JustServe which has been extremely popular in prior years with church members in Utah County, Salt Lake County, and Davis County. The Church has partnered with Silicon Slopes (a regional tech industry association) and several local corporations to address hunger in the state of Utah.


As part of Silicon Slopes’ Tech Summit at the Salt Palace on Wednesday and Thursday, October 13-14, a unique service project will result in one million meals prepared for and delivered to the Utah Food Bank. The million-meal event allows Summit attendees to provide service, but the event is open to anyone who wants to help prepare and pack meals. Every meal will benefit Utah families and individuals who experience food insecurity.


The following link takes the user to the JustServe page for this project. Following the links will allow for formal registration on the Eventbrite site. One-hour appointments are available, and interested parties can sign up for one or more hours if they so choose.

Please note that this is an invitation to serve, not an assignment. As such, we ask that you forward this to your Coordinating Councils’ Stake Presidents with instructions to forward to Stake Relief Society Presidents and others as a worthwhile project to consider. While this event has successfully reached the million-meal mark in previous years, the Tech Summit occurs on the week of K-12 Fall break in October, which may reduce the number of participants with the pandemic. Thus, we feel this would be a valuable opportunity to serve many in need.


Serving in this way would suit young adults well during evening hours and other youth and families, perhaps during the day on the 14th when school will be in recess. Appointments are available from 10 am through 7 pm each day.


Each project listed on JustServe is important, and we hope that members use this amazing tool to serve others.


Sincerely


The Utah Area Presidency

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
