The founders of the Utah Basket Brigade (Krista Palmer, Brent Palmer, Janet Barton, Dani McNair, Jaylyn Theobald, Gayle DeGraff – 5 siblings, their mom, and their spouses) first volunteered at a Basket Brigade hosted in Las Vegas November 2008.

Savoring the “after-service glow” over dinner, they realized it didn’t make any sense to provide Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets for families in Las Vegas with so many in need within their own community of Southern Utah. Before dinner was done, the Utah Basket Brigade was born.

That first year many wonderful volunteers helped raise enough funds to provide 65 baskets to Southern Utah families. Since the inception of the Utah Basket Brigade nearly 1,000 families in Washington County have received this gift of love.

This year we are THRILLED to be launching the Utah Basket Brigade in the Salt Lake area, and look forward to serving the northern Utah community for many years to come!  

But don’t just READ about it. You have to “experience” the Basket Brigade to really understand it. Every year we have volunteers who deliver meals then come back to us and say, “that was the greatest experience our family has ever had…can we PLEASE come back next year?” As we deliver these gifts to these families we see in their faces the hope it brings to know that they have been remembered this holiday season, and that they are loved!

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
