Utah Department of Health and Human Services

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services declares June 8–14 as Family Connection Week in Utah — and a reminder that the strongest communities start at home.
From shared meals and screen-free time to outdoor adventures and neighborhood connections, even small moments make a lasting impact. Whether it’s a hike in your local canyon, a visit to a museum or state park, or joining a community event, there’s something for every family to enjoy together this summer.

As we look toward America250, we’re also celebrating the ways Utah families connect through service, tradition, and community. From Walk250 and America Gives to America’s Potluck on July 5 and dozens of local celebrations, there are endless opportunities to come together, give back, and build something bigger than ourselves.
