Happy GivingTuesday! This year, we’re thrilled to share some exciting news: an anonymous donor is doubling the impact of your generosity by matching every gift, dollar for dollar, up to $75,000! Your support can transform lives, especially for the 1 in 6 Utah kids who worry about where their next meal might come from. With this incredible match, a $10 donation today provides $156 worth of essential goods and services for families facing hunger.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round initiative that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
As Utahns navigate the rising cost of living, the need for support has never been greater. Families and individuals are struggling with tough choices—keeping the heat on, staying housed, or putting food on the table. Jill, a retired senior, shared her story:
“Being retired, it’s hard to make choices for healthy food when my financial circumstances are so tight. The meat, the fresh fruit, the dairy – it’s all so expensive right now. When I can, I like to contribute to Utah Food Bank as well. What a blessing this food is, and such a gift.”
No one in our community should have to face hunger, especially during the holidays. GivingTuesday is our chance to come together, embracing the season of generosity and making a tangible difference. Every gift ensures that twice as many Utahns will receive the nourishment they need to thrive.
Let’s make this holiday season a celebration of unity, kindness, and hope. Join us today in spreading warmth and care to our neighbors in need. Together, we can create a brighter future for everyone in Utah.
