Help Us Provide 2 Million Meals to Hungry Children


When I published All the Right Reasons in August 2018, we set an ambitious goal. We sought to provide 1 million meals to hungry children.

As you know, all sales benefit the USANA Foundation. And each book sold represents 40 meals delivered to children in need.

USANA True Health Foundation: 40 Million MealsThanks to your generosity, we reached our goal earlier this year. But we’re not done.

With a little urging by Dr. Mehmet Oz, who challenged us to double our goal, we’re now heading toward 2 million meals.

That’s right. We’re hoping that by August 2020 we’ll hit our next milestone.

Goals are important to have, and milestones are nice to achieve. But the most important thing is that we are doing good in the world. Children are being fed as a result of this project.

I’m humbled to know that principles contained within All the Right Reasons are resonating with so many people. I’m grateful that the book is not only making a difference in the lives of those who read it, but also in the lives of children around the world.

Providing Meals

It’s a reflective time of year for me, as I’m sure it is for many of you. We look back on the past 12 months and make a plan for the future. It’s a time to count our blessings and express gratitude. We get together with friends and family and celebrate.

And we pause to think about the less fortunate. I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks for your support of the USANA Foundation. The organization began in 2012 and in its brief existence, it’s provided 40 million meals to hungry children around the world. That’s making a real difference. We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Kevin Guest & Dr. Oz on Fox-13’s The Place

Kevin Guest, the author of All the Right Reasons, visited with The Place on Fox-13 in Salt Lake City on Aug. 16, 2019. Dr. Mehmet Oz, in town to speak at USANA’s 2019 Global Convention, joined Kevin as well.

“A year ago Kevin Guest came on and launched a book here on this program,” Dr. Oz says. “And the resulting sales have allowed him to feed over a million people.”

As part of the event, attendees packed 250,000 — a quarter-million — meals for children and families in Los Angeles. And they did it in just three days!

“I think it’s necessary for us to think about where we are, where we’re at and how we can improve ourselves,” Kevin says.

Well, less than a year later, mission accomplished!

And now, Kevin’s friend Dr. Oz upped the ante (as you’ll hear in the above video clip from Good Things Utah). America’s Doctor challenged the author to deliver 2 million meals through proceeds from the book.

Challenge accepted!

A Community of Giving: 1 Million Meals

At USANA, we have four core values that are our guiding light, our North Star that we point to.

  1. Integrity
  2. Health
  3. Excellence
  4. Community

I want to talk about community and what that value means to me.

We believe in giving at USANA. That’s part of being a member of a community, whether it’s a local community, a community at your company, or a global community — how can we give back?

I want that to be part of who we are at USANA and part of our culture.

A Community of Giving

Kevin Guest - USANA True Health FoundationWhen we talk about community, a large part of that is giving, and that’s why I’m so grateful for the USANA True Health Foundation. You can see in the video above the impact your service and donations have had on countless lives around the world in 2018 alone.

I love the following quote; you’ve likely heard me say it before. It’s often attributed to Winston Churchill.

“We make a living out of what we get but we make a life out of what we give.”

And if we can focus more on giving vs. getting, our lives would be so much more enriched. Even more, USANA will be a better company and it will help us become a stronger and healthier family.

Through the USANA True Health Foundation, we’ve provided tens of millions of meals to hungry children around the world. We continue to expand our reach and our effort.

1 Million Meals

To that end, I’m thankful for your support of All the Right Reasons. Proceeds from the book benefit the USANA True Health Foundation and its mission to feed and nourish hungry children.

Facebook - All the Right Reasons Announcement 3At last year’s USANA International Convention, I set an ambitious goal: 1 million meals in one year (one book sale equals 40 meals). I’m pleased to announce that we’ve already approached 700,000 meals!

We’re well on our way, but we have more to go — more to give.

Thank you for your support. The money is going to an incredible cause. It’s one example of how can we focus on giving vs. getting.

As you know, Dr. Wentz loves the True Health Foundation. I’ve been on many trips with him around the world. We’ve been to orphanages and we’ve personally delivered food to starving children and families.

I’m joining with him hand in hand and with all of you. If we can continue to focus more on giving rather than getting, I truly believe our lives will be so much more enriched.

Here’s where to purchase All the Right Reasons, and here’s how to donate directly to the USANA True Health Foundation.
