New and latest efforts by Young Living in its multipronged approach were announced to address the diverse needs throughout the COVID-19 crisis.
Jared Turner, President, and COO say we recognize that there is much more work to be done and I am proud of the action Young Living has taken as we support our community during this crisis. No matter how much you can give, it is always time to serve. Young Living shares in Utah’s culture in that we are stronger united in serving.
Recent highlights from Young Living’s support include the following initiatives.
Baby2Baby
Working closely with Baby2Baby, Young Living has donated products in retail value of over $800,000. Their partnership has fulfilled the critical needs for baby essentials and personal care items in family resource centers, homeless shelters, health clinics, and other centers across the nation.
Encircle
Due to lack of supplies, Encircle, a local non-profit looking to provide LGBTQ+ family and youth resources, couldn’t reopen many of their houses across Utah. Upon hearing of their challenges, Young Living donated 150 N95 masks as well as products to Encircle to support their reopening.
Utah Community Action
A provider of comprehensive services for income-eligible families throughout the crisis and Itah Community Action has relied heavily on donations to help support their efforts. One key initiative is from them, providing essential nutrition for local families. To assist in this effort, over 4,000 pounds of food that will help children, adults, and seniors at local Utah Community Action food pantries were donated by Young Living.
YMCA of Utah
Currently, the YMCA of Utah serves over 225 residents each night—an essential community service during COVID-19. Young Living donated socks, personal hygiene items, and hand sanitizer to the YMCA to assist in their relief efforts.
UServeUtah
Young Living has partnered with UServeUtah to supply 20,000 empty bottles for hand sanitizer purposes, 8,900 disposable gowns, and 4,500 N95 masks. These essential items will be distributed statewide to hospitals, local health departments, county emergency managers and state agencies.
Salt Lake Education Foundation
School closures have affected several families in more ways than one. Young Living has donated 3,500 backpacks along with hand sanitizer to the Salt Lake Education Foundation to help package their food deliveries in an initiative to keep kids and their families fed throughout school closures and the summer.
