1 in 8 Utahns, including 1 in 6 children, face food insecurity — and meanwhile, over 600,000 tons of food go to waste every year across the state. Waste Less Solutions is changing that through education, prevention and food diversion to reduce food waste and get people the nutrition they need to live well.

Regence employees in Salt Lake City recently rolled up their sleeves to support the cause — preparing meals from donated food that were distributed directly to local nonprofits serving people in need. Access to healthy food isn't just about hunger—it supports long-term health and peace of mind. We’re proud of our employees for donating their time to this important cause!

Regence member Sherry M. manages psoriatic arthritis, diabetes, asthma and a weakened immune system. She takes 10-12 medications at a time.
