Employees get paid to do meaningful work at these Utah charities

Imagine how valuable employees might feel if they were paid to make a difference in the lives of a hungry family, a sick child, a scared refugee or an adult recovering from addiction?

It’s happening every day at the handful of Utah charities and nonprofits that earned spots on The Salt Lake Tribune’s Top Workplaces list. The 2019 philanthropic rookies included the Utah Food Bank, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Catholic Community Services and Odyssey House of Utah.

These first-timers joined three nonprofit Top Workplaces veterans — Shriners’ Hospital, Rowland Hall and First Step House — on the annual list, compiled by Energage, a Philadelphia-based research and consulting firm.
