Waste Less Solutions (WLS) was started in Salt Lake City in 2018 and has “rescued” 1,276 tons and $4.6 million worth of food since its inception, meaning they take surplus, edible food from businesses and events, and connect it with nonprofits that are working to feed people. This simple solution helps those who are food insecure while also reducing waste and food scraps from entering our landfills. ???????????? Back in July of 2024, Park City Community Foundation’s Climate Fund made a grant to WLS to expand their footprint in Summit County. The team is ready to roll and is looking for businesses and organizations to work with. ???? ??Want to get involved?

Park City Community Foundation helps solve our area’s greatest challenges.
关于我们
Inspiring local and lasting change. Together. Park City Community Foundation plays a vital role in solving our community’s most challenging problems. By constantly identifying gaps and issues within our community, we have a keen understanding of Park City’s most pressing needs. To address these issues and fund solutions, we bring together local nonprofits, caring donors and community leaders to contribute both financial resources and innovative ideas that effect lasting change. In addition to building permanent philanthropic endowments for our region, Park City Community Foundation enables donors to establish their own charitable funds and contribute a variety of assets to them, so they can support the specific issues and organizations they care about. And because the Community Foundation is intimately knowledgeable about the nonprofit activities of our community, we’re able to advise donors on the specific organizations that are doing the most meaningful, high-impact work. At the same time, we’re continuously serving as advisors to and advocates for the full range of local nonprofits, so that every organization can be strengthened for the greater good of the community.
