The United Way of Eastern Utah just moved into their new location at 81 North 200 East next to the Price City Fire Station. They are thrilled to host an open house/bike rodeo for the community to come see their new digs.
“We got moved into a new location, we’re very excited about it and very grateful to the city, the mayor and the council who helped us to be able to do this. So we’re really excited about our new place and we want to share it with everybody,” said Director Cheryl Thayn. “So, we want folks to come down and see all the shoes we have in inventory for our Soles2Souls program, just see all the stuff that happens in the United Way office – we’re really excited about that.” The open house will take place on August 7 from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm at their new location of 81 North 200 East in Price. There will be free hotdogs, drinks and popsicles to enjoy during the event.
United Way of Eastern Utah is all about helping the children in the community and will be hosting a Bike Rodeo along with their open house festivities. “We’re also going to be doing a Bicycle Safety Rodeo for the kids. So bring your bike, make sure your bring your helmet it’s going to be a lot of fun,” stated Thayn. The bike rodeo will be held in the parking lot west of the United Way of Eastern Utah’s office.
If you plan to attend the open house event officials have one last request, “We always try to support someone else, some other giving organization when we do something so this time, we would like to support the Southeastern Utah Health District and our little tiniest community members. So, if you do come to the grand opening bring a package of diapers any size and maybe a thing of wipes and then we can collect those for the health department and they can give those away,” explained Thayn. A diaper drive is a way of giving back to the most vulnerable in our community – our children. Southeastern Utah Health Department will accept diaper donations all year round.
