United FP

UFP is a proud partner of Healthier 901, a movement by Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare that inspires Memphians to live a healthier lifestyle. Healthier 901 is holding a challenge for the city to lose one million pounds over a three-year period. Our Memphis, TN teammates were thrilled to support their recent second-annual event at Shelby Farms Park where we hosted a table, gave away swag and a one-year Black Card® Membership; what an honor to connect the community to the Judgement Free Zone® as we strive towards a healthier future together!

Did you know the banana split was created in Latrobe, PA in 1904, making it 120 years young? The PA city celebrates this summer treat every year during the Great American Banana Split Celebration, that includes a 5k, booths and of course, banana splits. Our very own Latrobe and nearby North Huntingdon teammates joined in the festivities by leading the pre-run stretch/warm up and engaged with the community. Thanks Carly Tatarek, Devin Onorato, Katrina Hanson, John Schessler and Emily Huha for representing the JFZ®! 🍌

UFP teammates Chris Thompson, Salina, KS, CM, and Anna Rivera, Kansas City, MO (Antioch), CM, just returned from an incredible volunteer trip to the Dominican Republic with Soles4Souls due to the success of our shoe drive last year. Our team served nearly 800 children and families by sizing their feet, distributing new shoes, and connecting with thousands of people, learning about their rich culture and lifestyle while making joyful memories playing with the children during the trip.   Thank you to Soles4Souls for inviting our teammates and for your efforts in making a difference in the world around us.

Last week, our Support Center teammates huddled in Austin for a Leadership Development Conference. The team participated in exercises to define culture among their teams and our organization as a whole. Teammates left feeling inspired and full of positive energy for what’s to come!
