A-1 Freeman Moving & Storage of Dallas Donates 300 LBS. of Food

April 22, 2020

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to see wonderful acts of generosity from members of the Move For Hunger network all across the county. On April 7, for instance, the crew from A-1 Freeman Moving & Storage in Dallas, a North American Van Lines agent, donated 300 lbs. of food to the North Texas Food Bank, which provided 250 meals!

The North Texas Food Bank supports more than 200 partner agencies and has reported thathey are serving 4x the number of people at each of their mobile pantry sites. To make matters worse, the amount of food they have on hand is also at an all-time low. We are so proud of the team at A-1 Freeman of Dallas for doing whatever they can to help during this crisis.

Since joining our network in 2013, A-1 Freeman Moving & Storage of Dallas has delivered more than 4,300 lbs. of food to the North Texas Food Bank, which is the equivalent of 3,600 meals. We are so grateful for their longtime commitment to fighting hunger in Texas, especially during this time of great need.


The COVID-19 Pandemic has left a massive economic impact and has drastically increased the need for emergency food assistance nationwide. Move For Hunger is actively searching for ways to meet the demand, but we're going to need your help.

If you can, please consider making a donation to Move For Hunger. With your support, we'll be able to rapidly respond and mobilize our network in communities across the United States and Canada.

Inflation & food insecurity are on the rise

Cuts to SNAP benefits and inflation have had a devastating economic impact and filled the lines at food banks and pantries across the country. More than 47 million Americans including 1 in 5 children are struggling with food insecurity and do not know where their next meal is coming from. 

For people of color and other minorities, the situation is even worse. Hunger disproportionately affects the Black population, the Latinx community, LGBTQ+ individuals, and more. 

USDA TERMINATES FOOD SECURITY REPORT 

September 22: The USDA announced termination of future Household Food Security Reports USDA, which had tracked hunger nationwide for nearly 30 years. The most recent data revealed that one in seven households — 47.4 million people, including 13.8 million children — were food insecure. For more than three decades, the report was been the gold standard for measuring whether a household lacks consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. “Eliminating data collection strips away the evidence that proves these programs work, where investment is needed, and who is being left out,” Crystal FitzSimons, president, Food Research & Action Center said in a statement.
