Yesterday, we had the honor of hosting Vic Velvis, the founder and Executive Director of the Utah Diaper Bank at our board meeting.

As we presented Vic with a check funded by your generous donations, he expressed his deep gratitude, highlighting how essential HomeAid Utah's unwavering support has been to their mission. In 2024 alone, they are set to distribute an impressive 1.9 million diapers to families in need!

Meet HomeAid Utah’s Newest Board Member: Bart Sharp We’re excited to welcome Bart Sharp, President of The Residential Division at Larry H. Miller Real Estate, to HomeAid Utah's Board of Directors! With two decades of experience in the home building industry, Bart brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our mission. Bart’s professional journey began in 2004 with a local homebuilder, where he oversaw sales, marketing, and land divisions. He then expanded his leadership experience by moving to Idaho to establish homebuilding operations as a Division President. In 2010, Bart transitioned to The Larry H. Miller Company, where he has held various roles, including President of the Salt Lake City Stars and Chief Marketing Officer for the Utah Jazz. Today, Bart oversees Larry H. Miller Real Estate’s residential division, which includes Destination Homes and master-planned communities like Daybreak. Bart’s dedication to addressing homelessness is deeply inspired by Gail Miller’s philanthropic work and his personal experiences. As a foster parent, Bart and his wife witnessed firsthand the heartbreaking effects of homelessness, particularly on children. These experiences have fueled his commitment to making a difference through HomeAid Utah. Bart views this opportunity as a chance for Larry H. Miller Real Estate and Destination Homes to contribute to the fight against homelessness actively. He is excited to “roll up his sleeves” and work alongside the board to create lasting change in our community. Please join us in welcoming Bart Sharp to the HomeAid Utah family! We’re grateful to have his leadership and dedication in the fight to end homelessness.

We had an amazing weekend visiting HomeAid Orange County and supporting Project Playhouse. It’s inspiring to see our industry unite to make a difference for those in need. Alright Utah, us HomeAid Utah folks are coming back energized and inspired! Let’s get to work!
