2018 has been great for many different members of the Move For Hunger network, and Apex Moving + Storage, an Atlas Van Lines agent, is no exception. Throughout the year, Apex Moving + Storage has partnered with various schools across Tennessee to help feed their neighbors in need. We were so ecstatic to hear that they have returned from summer break to host another food drive, this time at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville.
From September 17-21, students, faculty, parents, and members of the local community were encouraged to donate nonperishable food items, such as peanut butter, pasta, tuna and more. An incredible 4,600 pounds had been collected by the end of the four days, which is enough to provide 3,860 meals for families in need! The donations were then delivered to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. Even after already collecting a total of 7,500 pounds of food this year, Apex Moving + Storage has plans to host many more school food drives for 2018.
What's great about Apex Moving + Storage partnering with schools, is that it teaches young students the importance of giving back. After all, its the youth of the community that will be responsible for spreading kindness for years to come. With more than 360,000 people who are food insecure in Middle Tennessee, including 1 in 6 children, we are so thankful that Apex Moving + Storage has been so involved in the fight against hunger.
Looking to host your own food drive? We can help you get started!
