Snowbird Donates
6,956 lbs of Food
to Utah Food Bank




Snowbird collected more than three tons of non-perishable food for the Utah Food Bank during the resort’s annual Customer Appreciation Days. The 6,956 pounds – the equivalent of 5,500 meals – was presented to the Utah Food Bank. In addition, $2,215 was raised for Wasatch Adaptive Sports. The totals exceeded last year’s Customer Appreciation Days by 1,700 pounds of food and $1,000 overall.

Customer Appreciation Days took place Oct. 16-17, 23-24 and 30-31. Guests were asked to donate one can of food in exchange for one free Tram ride, or in lieu of food customers could also make a $2 donation to Wasatch Adaptive Sports.

“The sunny weather mixed with weekday storms brought people out in droves and made Customer Appreciation Days a tremendous success this year,” said Snowbird President Bob Bonar. “Thank you to everyone who came out and supported two great causes.”

The food collected at Snowbird contributes to the Utah Food Bank’s Holiday Food Drive. The Holiday Food Drive is an annual effort to stock the shelves of the Utah Food Bank in preparation for the holidays and the winter months with donations totaling 1.5 million pounds of food and 28,000 total turkeys.

“This is a critical time for the emergency food network and we are in great need for donations,” said Utah Food Bank CEO Jim Pugh. “We are very appreciative for the on-going generosity of Snowbird and community members alike who give their support of food, cash and volunteer time.”
