WHO WE ARE
In 2019, our family experienced what no family should have to endure, but so many have. We lost our youngest son and brother, at only 39, to cancer.
In the weeks and months that followed, grief threatened to consume us. We didn't know how to move forward. We didn't know how to be a family without him.
But somewhere in the darkness, we found a flicker of light.
Our family, led by Gary and Margaret Attebery, had the opportunity to participate in an outreach to the unsheltered community in Salt Lake City. We were moved by the effort and realized that similar outreach was lacking in our Northern Utah area community.
This was the beginning of Do Good Today (DGT), an outreach organization that grew tremendously within its first year and has continued to grow since. We started loading up our personal SUVs with blankets, food, and hygiene kits. We drove to meet our unsheltered neighbors where they were - on the streets, in the parks, anywhere they called home. We didn't have a plan. We just knew we had to help.
What started as a family in pain, trying to heal, slowly grew. Friends joined. Then strangers. Then an entire community.
Today, in addition to outreach, Do Good Today provides needed furnishings to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness in the Northern Utah area. Beds. Tables. Couches. Kitchen essentials. Everything needed to turn four walls into a home.
