Outreach Program
Our outreach program provides employment opportunities for the mentally/physically challenged, individuals in recovery programs, retirees, youth groups and political refugees. Building self-confidence and believing in each individual’s potential and creative spirit starts from the top down. For example, we employ individuals from the TURN Community, an organization which advocates for people with developmental disabilities and offers community residential and day placements. Our kitchen management team works with our challenged employees and their job coaches to match their skills, and schedule availability with the tasks at hand. The Arc of Utah, an organization which advocates for and alongside people with cognitive and intellectual and development disabilities and their families, awarded UFS “The Employer of the Year” in 2005.

Workplace Flexibility
UFS won the Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility in 2006. The success of our “can do…make it so” philosophy depends on the dedication of our staff. In an ever changing and extremely fast past work environment, employee attitudes can make or break an event. To that end, providing flexibility in the workplace, profit sharing, 401k, health and dental benefits, employee service awards, employee of the month awards, bonuses, opportunities for advancement, seminars and national trade show opportunities and prize raffles builds company loyalty and boosts morale. All of which create a vested interest by our management and hourly staff in the success of our catering company.

Donation Request Form
Each year Utah Food Services (UFS) receives hundreds of donation requests. We do our best to assist local charities and non-profit organizations, but unfortunately in this tough economic environment we cannot fulfill every request.
Our community outreach program begins with supplying meals to the local food banks, and other local agencies working together to provide hunger relief. Our philanthropic efforts target non profit organizations supporting women and children’s healthcare issues; mentally and physically disabled children and adults; under privileged, suffering and/or elderly members of our community. Additionally, UFS fully enjoys and supports the Arts of Utah.
If your organization meets this area of need we will consider your donation request. However, please understand that we have a limited budget for all donations and your request may not be fulfilled if we have already allocated our donations for the year. Please submit your donation request at least 4 weeks prior to your event or fundraiser. Click here to download a donation request form.
