‘Ironman’ Food Drive Benefits Families in Need

Each year, Ultradent Products, a leading manufacturer of dental materials, devices and instruments, coordinates a food drive to benefit the Utah Food Bank. Under this year’s “Ironman” theme, the Utah-based com pany sought to raise as much money as possible during an intensive, three-day push. Within those three days, Ultradent employees and their families raised $85,263, which translates to 341,036 pounds of food that will help feed needy individuals and families. Since the tradition began in 2011, Ultradent has do nated the equivalent of 1.2 million pounds of food to the Utah Food Bank, although the donations are sometimes shared with other deserving groups, such as those affected by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013.
