Company awarded by industry organization, DSA
Canada
TORONTO, July 15,
2024 /CNW/ -- Community is one of USANA's core
values, and the company's Canadian market was recently awarded for
their outstanding work in their community. Direct Selling
Association (DSA) Canada honoured
the market with their Making a Difference Award at the DSA Canada
Conference held this past June.
"Charity and community are so important to us here in
Canada and throughout USANA as a
whole and I am beyond proud we could be recognized for our efforts
through this award," said Tracie
Kenzora, regional general manager for USANA. "From our
employees to our distributors, the giving spirit is strong here in
the market and I would like to congratulate everyone who helped us
make our community a better place."
One of the many local efforts by USANA Canada is its annual
5k walkathon held during the
company's World Service Week.
"We started the walkathon in 2020 as a way to bring families
together to help fight malnutrition," said Tracie. "We're thrilled
to see how it's grown over the years, and we're incredibly grateful
for the support we've received from communities across the country.
Our goal was to make an impact in our own backyard and help local
communities in Ontario and BC, and
I think we've done just that."
This year, the total amount raised was CA $9,400, with CA $4,700 coming from participants and the rest
coming from a matching donation from the USANA Foundation. The
donations will be distributed evenly between the Richmond Food Bank
in British Columbia and The
Compass Food Bank in Ontario.
USANA also supported the Compass Foodbank earlier this year by
donating $10,000 to support their
family-focused Pasta Nights.
The Making a Difference Award honours a Direct Selling
Association member company whose community service efforts
have made a profound difference in the community. Recipient
companies epitomize the best in corporate responsibility.
USANA Canada distributor Deanna
Waters also made an impact by starting a USANA Foundation
Garden Tower pilot project in her home of Winnipeg, Manitoba, resulting in 40 towers
being built and maintained by numerous not-for-profit organizations
within the community.
Garden Towers are an innovative solution that provides
sustainable, nutritious food for people all over the world. Each
tower is made of durable material that lasts up to five years, can
hold up to 120 plants, and uses 30% less water.
The pilot program includes a grant to cover the towers,
supplies, plants, and soil, plus instruction and support as the
project progresses.
