2024 Shootout Hunger Food Drive: Making a Meaningful Impact
UPA is proud to announce this year’s Shootout Hunger Food Drive generated 26,131 lbs. of donated food that will fill the pantries in Duchesne, Roosevelt, Manila and Vernal. Companies that participated in the food drive include Finley Resources/Uinta Wax, Javelin Energy Partners, Ovintiv, Badlands Tank Lines and XCL Resources. We also partnered with Western AgCredit and CO Bank, helping them deliver a $3,300 financial donation to the food pantry.
The Shootout Hunger Food Drive is also a competition between companies. UPA worked with the food pantry to determine the highest-need items and a scoring system to ensure we are truly meeting the community’s needs with bonus points for things like diapers, laundry detergent and toilet paper. The company that donates the most pounds of food per employee, with a scoring adjustment for items most needed, earns bragging rights for the year. Here are this year’s top three companies:
- Javelin Energy: 280 lbs. adjusted per employee
- XCL Resources: 172 lbs. adjusted per employee
- Finley Resources/Uinta Wax: 56 lbs. adjusted per employee
