To commemorate the company's 10th
anniversary, MTN OPS helped to pack more than 550,000 meals for
children throughout the United
States
FRUIT
HEIGHTS, Utah, Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- MTN OPS is proud to announce their involvement in a
new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the Most People Packing Meal
Kits in 24 Hours.
MTN OPS collaborated with a number of organizations, including
Nu Skin, Utah Jazz, Hunger Fight, Swire Coca-Cola, and Ashbury
Automotive Group to fill the Salt Palace Convention Center in
Salt Lake City and pack more than
550,000 healthy meals. 2,196 people actively participated in
packing meal kits during a 24-hour period, which began July 25 at 6 p.m.
and concluded 24 hours later. Convoy of Hope and the Utah Food Bank
plan to use the packed meal kits to support children in need
throughout the United States.
MTN OPS' mission is to improve the lives of individuals and
families by inspiring them to achieve their ultimate level of
performance through high quality energy and performance products,
backed by science. Through its Operation Conquer Hunger initiative,
the company has donated more than six million meals to children in
need.
"This was really a full circle moment for me and my family – 14
years ago, I sat at a NuSkin convention amongst thousands of
people, feeling like the only failure in the sea of successful
people. I was broke and could not even afford the auto-ship of the
product. During that multi-day conference, unsure if it was my
path, I learned of their Nourish the Children initiative and how
they fed hungry children in Malawi, Africa. It was the one thing I knew for sure
that I wanted to attach myself to, so Jenna and I committed and
started with the very few loaves and fish that we had, and we made
a $22 monthly donation to help a
child in need. This was a major decision and sacrifice for us, as
little as it seems," said MTN OPS CEO Trevor Farnes. "When I received a call a few
months ago to inquire if we would want to participate in a Guinness
world record focused on feeding hungry children throughout our
country and that it was in partnership with NuSkin, I immediately
said YES and couldn't believe everything was coming full circle,
putting me back in that expo center where 14 years ago I sat
defeated, broke, and broken, but also inspired to do more. Saturday
night, sitting in the Force For Good concert, we were taken aback
when they put our family on the front row and recognized the
donation that Mtn Ops had made. We did not need or ask for that
recognition. But between myself and the incredible founders of
NuSkin and those who inspired belief in me 14 years ago, we
recognize the hand of God, allowing us the choice and opportunity
to lift where we stand and together truly feed His sheep."
