The Utah Food Bank is Open for Donations Now through December

SALT LAKE CITY---Groove Satellite , winner of DirecTV’s national
New Dealer of the Year challenges individuals and businesses to
join it in making donations of cash or food to the Utah Food
Bank. 

The Utah Food Bank is open tonight, Wednesday, November 25 until 9 pm. The address
is 3150 South 900 West in Salt Lake City. You can make monetary donations online at
www.utahfoodbank.org.

Groove is doing its part. When you buy any satellite TV package from Groove
Satellite through November 30, Groove will make a $50 cash donation to the Utah Food
Bank to help needy Utah families. 

Groove employees will also donate two hours of volunteer time to the Utah Food Bank
for each new sign-up during the month of November. Groove calls the campaign, ‘Buy
One, Give One.’

Because of the efficiencies of the Utah Food Bank’s operations, each $50 donation
can feed a family of four for 5 days.

“The need is great this year,” says Lance Platt, Groove’s chief financial officer.
“The good news is that the Utah Food Bank is a wonderfully efficient and effective
charity. We challenge individuals and companies to join us in supporting the Utah
Food Bank and its vital mission.”
