SALT
LAKE CITY, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- After a
20-year sponsorship, the USANA Amphitheatre will sport a new name.
This change allows USANA Health Sciences, Inc., to focus on
supporting other vital community-building projects.

"USANA is proud to be a Utah-based company, and investing in the
betterment of our state is a top priority," said Jim Brown, USANA president and CEO. "We are
grateful to have played a role in the USANA Amphitheatre since the
venue opened, bringing some of the world's best musical performers
to Utah. We've also worked to
improve our community as a top employer and through our non-profit
USANA Foundation and its local USANA Kids Eat program. Going
forward, USANA will place even more emphasis on efforts to help
Utahns who are most at risk."
The global USANA® Foundation began to make a strong,
local impact in Utah in 2019 by
partnering with two smaller charities to form USANA®
Kids Eat. Kids Eat now provides backpacks filled with food to
thousands of Utah kids. The bags
are filled at USANA headquarters and delivered weekly through
schools and organizations along the Wasatch Front to ensure meals
get to those who need it most.
And the need is great. A staggering one in nine children in
Utah and more than 56,000 children
along the Wasatch Front face food insecurity. Since 2019, USANA
Kids Eat has delivered 173,542 backpacks and provided 1,643,286
meals to 84 schools and organizations around the state.
Kids Eat isn't the only way USANA supports its community. The
USANA Foundation's Garden Tower project has produced food for
hundreds of local families and given them a place to grow and
cultivate their own fresh produce.
USANA employees have also contributed mightily to improve the
world around them. Since beginning to track volunteer hours in
2021, USANA employees have logged 6,800 hours of service.
As USANA Foundation Director for Global Programs Michelle Benedict explains, anyone can make a
difference.
"Volunteering your time or making a one-time or monthly donation
gets even more meals in the hands of hungry kids—and every bit
helps. Because 100% of the Foundation's administration costs are
covered by USANA, every dollar you give to Kids Eat goes to feed
hungry kids."
