City Transfer & Storage Hosts Fifth Annual Food Drive

December 4, 2018

We always look forward to the fall season here at Move For Hunger. The leaves change color, Thanksgiving approaches, and the summer heat finally subsides. This time around, we were a little extra excited for fall after hearing that City Transfer & Storage was bringing back their annual food drive!

The Atlas Van Lines agents have dedicated their November to their community for the past 4 years. Once again, the food drive was held at both of their offices in High Point and Winston Salem, NC. Employees, clients, and members of the community were all encouraged to donate items, such as pasta, cereal, peanut butter, and other nonperishables. Even after already collecting over 3,800 pounds of food in previous years, City Transfer & Storage's desire to give back still grows strong. Their 5th time around absolutely proved this, because they collected another 740 pounds lbs. of food!

City Transfer & Storage collected enough food to provide more than 600 meals to North Carolina families in need. After the food is delivered to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina, it will go straight to the 315,000 people, including 1 in 5 children, in the Northwest of the state who are food insecure. Thank you so much to City Transfer & Storage for all of your hard work and dedication to your community this fall. We hope to do it again in 2019!

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.
