North Bay Moving & Storage Teams Up with Local Middle School to Hold Food Drive

February 5, 2018

North Bay Moving & Storage joined our network in late September and made an immediate impact. The San Rafael, CA-based movers partnered with a local middle school to hold a food drive during the holiday season. Non-perishable food donations were accepted at North Bay Moving & Storage's office and at the school from December 11-15. More than 440 lbs. of food was collected between both locations, which is enough to provide 360 meals!

Most of the credit for this amazing event belongs to Bob Brasil and his team, but we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the contributions of the California Moving & Storage Association. This fall, the CMSA encouraged all of its members to hold food drives and fight hunger in the communities they serve. Without the CMSA's leadership, this food drive likely would not have happened.

All of the donations were delivered to the SF-Marin Food Bank, which supplies food to 400 non-profit partners every week and helps to feed more than 44,000 children in the Bay Area each year, courtesy of North Bay Moving & Storage.

Thank you to the crew at North Bay Moving & Storage, everyone at the CMSA, and to the students at San Jose Middle School for working together to make a difference.

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.
