It has been an incredible summer here at Move For Hunger, and it’s the movers, apartment communities, and other members of our network that make it all possible. From July through September, 116,500 pounds of food had been collected and donated to food banks all across the nation. We are so thankful for all of the hard work and dedication from our team these past few months, and looking back on an exciting Q3 inspires us even more!
Here are some of our favorite stories from the last quarter.
With September being Hunger Action Month, we knew that it would only be a matter of time before our friends at Brandon Moving & Storage, a Bekins agent, would jump in to make a difference. They did just that by hosting back to back Fill-A-Truck food drives at Walmart Super Center in Clinton, AR, and 10 Box Cost Plus in Conway. Nearly 5,000 pounds of food were collected to help families in need! READ MORE...
