Circles is a non-profit organization that seeks to decrease poverty by at least 10% in our community. Each week, people in our program get together for a dinner meeting to go over their goals, make friends, and make progress getting out of poverty. Each meal helps alleviate some stress placed on impoverished individuals and families and ensures at least one nutritional meal per week. In order for these events to occur, Circles is in great need of paper products, as the organization feeds between 70-80 people each week. Paper and cleaning products will be used for the weekly dinners. Your donation ensures that Circles can continue to assist individuals and families in the community. Items needed: -Clorox Wipes - Ziploc Storage Bags (sandwich, quart, and gallon size) - Paper or Plastic Bowls - Plastic Forks - Plastic Spoons - Plastic Knifes - Paper or Plastic Cups - Take away boxes To donate, please contact Shannon at 801-691-5240. The Circles Initiative assists low-income families and individuals to become self-reliant. We meet weekly with participants to assist them in identifying and accomplishing goals, to support them with friendship and encouragement, to connect them with resources, and to strengthen them to overcome obstacles.

Circles is a national initiative that works with local individuals and families to achieve financial stability. No lasting change happens without relationships. Circles believe that through relationships, families in poverty through support will be enabled to move forward out of poverty. We do this through a goal-based effort which focuses on educational, employment, and financially related goals. Our participants meet weekly with community volunteers to enjoy a meal together, review goals, and strengthen relationships. Families in poverty can be given the support they need to make necessary changes. Participants (called Circle Leaders) begin by attending a 12-week class where they learn life skills and make a plan for reaching economic stability. After completing the class they are assigned 1-3 long-term volunteers (called Allies) from higher economic backgrounds who offer support, advice, and increase the Circle Leader’s social capital. Participants come together once a week to eat dinner, learn, and work on their plans for self-reliance. Over time, their incomes improve, and they decrease their debt and public assistance. Site/Time: Heber on Thursdays 5:45 p.m. - 8:00p.m. * Minimum 12-month commitment * $30 background check Dinner and childcare are provided to all volunteers and their families each week. To become an Ally contact: Shannon Thackeray Circles Volunteer Coordinator (801)691-5240 circles@casfb.org,8:00 p.m
