James and Janet Agnew didn’t set out to change the world; they just wanted to make sure their neighbors had a holiday meal. Over the years, their initiative, Christmas Meals, has grown into a community-wide effort across the Wasatch Back. The effort brings together volunteers of all ages, including student-athletes from Park City High School and the Christian Center of Park City, to assemble and deliver festive meals to families in need.
For the Agnews, the project is about more than food. It’s about raising money, knocking on doors, meeting neighbors and becoming both the giver and the receiver.
Listen to the story of how one family’s commitment to showing up has inspired a community to come together year after year.
