Wells Fargo representatives recently spoke to council mem- bers in Blanding and Monticello about the launch of the new mobile food pantry during their city council meetings. "Wells Fargo is delighted to be teaming up with the Utah Food Bank, Blanding High School, and Monticello Ele- mentary School to help provide food to hungry families in San Juan County," said Denise Winslow, Wells Fargo Community Affairs manager. "This truly has been a col- laborative effort, yet could not have been realized without the leadership and passion of our remarkable team mem- bers in Blanding and Monticello who will be volunteering their time each week to make sure families get the food they need. Wells Fargo’s $16,000 donation to the Utah Food Bank will fund the mobile food pantry for the next 18 months, and we hope it is a success and makes a real difference in the community." WELLS FARGO VOLUNTEERS HELP PREPARE 210,000 MEALS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED Wells Fargo team member volunteers, accompanied by their family and friends, recently helped assemble, pack, and box meals for hungry children around the world. More than 150 Wells Fargo volunteers joined forces with hundreds of other community-minded individuals and nonprofit organizations at a mobile food packing event in downtown Salt Lake City. Over 210,000 meals were assembled, which will feed about 500 kids one meal each day for a year. Packaged meals consisted of rice, soy powder, dehydrated vegetables, and protein powder. The meals will be distributed to several different countries. The mobile food packing event was organized by Feed My Starving Children, a nonprofit committed to feeding hun- gry children and ending world hunger. Founded in 1987, the group hosts packing events across the U.S. and ships the meals to nearly 70 countries throughout the world.
