Description

Calling all Utah military and Veteran families! We're so thankful for you and we are showing our gratitude with this special event. To show our gratitude, Blue Star Families of Utah, Feed the Children, and the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes have joined forces to host a special food and hygiene kit distribution event just for you and your family. Active-duty, Guard, and Reserve military, Veterans, and their families serving right here in Utah are invited to stop by and receive* a box containing roughly one week’s worth of food, hygiene, household items, and other surprises (approximately a $200 value). One box per household only. This event is also open to all caregivers and Gold Star families. If you're a Veteran caregiver, you may register to pick up a box for yourself and on behalf of your Veteran. Register for yourself and enter your Veteran's name in the area provided on the form. Additional details, including a map of Camp Williams, will be provided in the registration confirmation email. Please Note: *This is a drive-through food distribution event where advanced registration is required due to a limited supply of resources. Be one of the first 400 registrants for the opportunity to participate! You do not need to be assigned to Camp Williams to participate. If you do not have a current military or Veteran ID, you'll need a current state-issued driver's license to access Camp Williams on the day of the event. The occurrence of this event on Camp Williams does not constitute nor imply endorsement by the State of Utah or the Department of Defense. COVID-19 Information: - This is a drive-thru event, attendees will not need to leave their vehicle to participate. - Masks are highly encouraged, but not required to participate. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where multiple people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and Guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19. We at Blue Star Families strive to empower military families to thrive by connecting them with their civilian neighbors — both people and organizations — to create strong communities of support. As part of our core mission, Blue Star Families seeks to ensure military families experience a sense of belonging and welcome in the communities in which they live. As a result, we are once again beginning to host in-person events and want to do so in a safe way that gives our members, staff, consultants, and volunteers confidence.As a guest at any Blue Star Families event, I understand that I must wear appropriate PPE based on State and local requirements, as applicable for both indoor and outdoor events in my area. As guidance continues to evolve, Blue Star Families, with the support of health and government officials—will be making more gradual adjustments.
