• All season long — Sleep In Heavenly Peace’s Sanpete County chapter builds sturdy beds for kids needing a bed of their own. The organization provides beautiful handmade beds with all the bedding to local children free of charge. They are currently asking for donations of twin sheet sets to complete bedding ensembles for the kids. Contact Ramerez@imail.org for more information on donating bedding or donating time to the effort.
• Week of June 8 to 14 — Gov. Cox has announced Family Connection Week from June 8 until June 14, encouraging families across Utah to celebrate by dedicating time reconnecting through meaningful, screen-free activities. “This special week encourages families to be fully present with one another to create lasting memories and stronger bonds”. “Families are encouraged to find a day and time that works for them and participate in activities focused on building connections, like preparing a meal and eating together, going on a hike, or playing a game together.” For a list of activity ideas, including events happening all over the state, visit utah.gov.
