#ThankfulThursday We are incredibly grateful to the Vocational Independence Program (VIP), whose dedicated volunteers have been supporting our Alex & Sally Lebwohl Food Pantry weekly for the past two years. Coordinated by Imber Services, a nonprofit serving people with disabilities, particularly those on the Autism Spectrum, their contributions make a significant impact. Thank you so much to all the VIP volunteers for your unwavering support and commitment!

Our very own Emily Christensen, Arts & Aging Coordinator, was honored to serve on the Engagement panel for this event, sharing her expertise on issues relating to health, isolation, and the importance?of creative engagement on the overall health of older adults.
While Utah remains the youngest state in the nation, we’re seeing a shift: birth rates are declining and life expectancy is rising. Utah’s older adults are projected to more than double by 2060. ?? Our aging population has spent decades contributing to our communities, and it’s time to return the favor. We must ensure they can age with dignity and independence. That’s why we’ve proposed investing $170.3 million in the WISE Initiative (Wealth, Independence, Security and Engagement), which will focus on: ?? Elimination of the tax on social security benefits. ?? Expanding home-based care to support seniors aging in place. ?? Strengthening protections against senior fraud and exploitation. ?? Ensuring access to healthy food for aging Utahns. ?? Promoting overall well-being with resources that support aging with dignity and independence. Thank you to Utah's leaders across government, academia and the private sector who came together for our Aging Symposium today. Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier future for all Utahns.

#ThankfulThursday David is a new volunteer with us in the Alex & Sally Lebwohl Food Pantry and the first volunteer from a new collaboration we started with Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain. He volunteers in the pantry two days a week, alongside his wife, sorting food donations for expired and damaged items. “I love coming here. I didn’t have anything to do and I know I’m making a difference now," David said. "I thank the Jewish Family Service folks that give me the opportunity to serve my community.” We truly love our volunteers and community partners who help us make a meaningful impact every day!

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible employees from Morgan Stanley who volunteered in our Alex & Sally Lebwohl Food Pantry last week as part of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Client Services Week of Gratitude. Their hard work unloading the Utah Food Bank delivery, stocking shelves, and assembling bags for clients truly made a difference. We’re deeply grateful for the community support that helps us serve those facing food insecurity.
