Sunday Street Outreach

A Birthday Update

A few weeks ago we shared the story of Katelyn Christensen, a Layton resident who had a goal to break the world record for most birthday cards received. I’m happy to report she exceeded her goal with over 8,000 cards (3,000 more than the current world record)! Unfortunately, the Guinness Book of World Records no longer documents these sorts of categories, but she’s still a world-record breaker in our book.

Free Emergency Contraception

Do you own a business or community space in Utah? If you’re interested in offering free emergency contraception at your location, contact the Utah Abortion Fund to participate in their Repro Wellness Kit program. Email them at hello@utafund.org.
