Young Living’s member services employees are always hard at work assisting our cherished Young Living members around the world. This month, a group of member services representatives who handle all Canadian customer service inquiries, decided they wanted to not only help Young Living members, but also families in need in their local Utah communities.

Meghan decided that during downtime from taking calls at work, she would spend that extra time knitting hats to donate to families in her community. Meghan has fine-tuned her processes and can now make an average of five to six hats throughout an eight-hour shift. A few of her coworkers were captivated by her servant heart and beautiful hats, and soon she was teaching them how to knit as well! 

This month, Meghan reached out to the Young Living Foundation asking for a recommendation for an organization in the community where she could donate the approximately 300 hats that she and her teammates made. The Foundation worked with The Refugee Connection in Salt Lake City, and with the winter months approaching, suggested them as a group who would be overjoyed to receive such a kind gift.

The Utah Department of Health estimates that there are 25,000-50,000 refugees speaking over 40 languages living in Utah, a majority of whom live in Salt Lake County. Utah welcomes approximately 1,100 refugees each year, a majority of which arrive from Iraq, Somalia, Bhutan, Myanmar, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Click Here for more statistics.
