Nu Skin hosted a service event at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City where 2,196 people actively participated in packing meal kits during a 24-hour period. The project began July 25 at 6 p.m. and concluded 24 hours later. The service project coincided with Nu Skin L!VE West, a sales leader conference celebrating the company's 40th anniversary.
