A Decade of Dedication: USANA's World Service Week

As June rolls around each year, the USANA community gears up for a momentous occasion, the World Service Week. This year marks a remarkable ten-year anniversary of this extraordinary initiative, which brings together volunteers, Brand Partners, employees, and their families, all in the name of service and compassion. Established by the USANA Foundation, World Service Week is more than just a week on the calendar; it’s a testament to the power of collective action and a commitment to uplift those in need across the globe.

Michelle Benedict, the director of global programs with the USANA Foundation, expressed her pride in the impact that the community has made over the last decade. "Every volunteer project, donation, and act of kindness helps us move closer to a future where more families have access to the nutrition and resources they need to thrive," she said. This sentiment encapsulates the essence of World Service Week, which unites USANA family members across continents to make an enduring difference through their service pursuits.

In 2026, USANA encourages its Brand Partners to contribute a nominal donation of $10 or any amount during their Subscribe & Save orders. This financial support aims to bolster the organization’s ambitious goal of feeding 20,000 families, ensuring that quality and sustainable nutrition reach those who need it most. The importance of nutritional support has never been clearer, and USANA remains steadfast in its mission to empower individuals and families alike.

Recent Activities and Initiatives

This year’s World Service Week featured a diverse range of activities designed to uplift vulnerable community members. Volunteers participated in a variety of projects, which included:

• - Support for Children: Donations of essential food packs, toys, school supplies, and meals targeted vulnerable children including pediatric cancer patients, special-needs students, and first-time kindergarteners. These acts not only provide immediate relief but also foster hope and stability for families in need.
• - Community Enrichment: Brand Partners visited senior centers and isolated villages, offering companionship, encouragement, and essential goods. Such interactions are invaluable, bridging societal gaps and enhancing the sense of connection for all involved.
• - Educational Empowerment: More than 100 school kits were distributed across two provinces, directly supporting kindergarten children on Olango Island in the Philippines. Engaging students in creative activities helped inspire hope and confidence, laying the groundwork for future success as they embark on their educational journeys.
• - Long-standing Partnerships: USANA continues its commitment to organizations like LEUPAPO, which cares for young leukemia patients. Such partnerships signify the long-term commitment USANA and its volunteers maintain to address critical health issues and promote healthy living through initiatives like community gardening, nutrition education, and public awareness.

The Impact of USANA Foundation

Since its establishment in 2012, the USANA Foundation has made profound changes in countless lives through its mission of creating sustainable food networks.

The significance of the World Service Week is not only in the tangible assistance provided but also in the sense of community, solidarity, and love shared among participants. As the USANA Foundation looks to the future, it remains committed to expanding its reach and deepening its impact.
