A Special Thank You
We have an amazing community!
USANA-driven and community-supported, the Kids Eat program has quickly made “USANA Health Sciences” a household name in service and nutritional support. Local businesses, families, and community members volunteer and donate their time to fill food bags for hungry children to take home for the weekends and long holiday breaks. It’s a program that deeply touches the hearts of all USANA employees, Associates, and executives involved.
This year we hosted Experience Day at USANA’s Global Convention. Over 200 Associates from around the globe participated in a day of packing at our Foundation’s onsite location. They filled 2,141 bags!
Whether it’s community volunteers delivering food bags, USANA employees packing food, adoptive sponsors funding entire schools, or donors giving dollar by dollar, this program’s success is thanks to the generosity of those who give their money and time. Local businesses see this as a great way to fulfill social responsibility, build team cohesiveness, and be involved in the community.
And it’s all thanks to the kindness of our amazing community! We’re humbled by the good they share. Honored by the generosity we see. And grateful for the support we receive. In the end, we do all this for the kids. After all, no child should ever go hungry.

Current Programs and Campaigns
Weekend Program:
Many children rely on school meals for the food and nutrition they need. But these meals aren’t available on weekends, and kids often go hungry. A bag of food can go a long way for a needy child who is home from school.
