MEMPHIS, TN – Armstrong Relocation & Companies has partnered with Move For Hunger, a national non-profit organization, to help fight hunger across the United States and Canada. As a partner, Armstrong Relocation & Companies will support Move For Hunger’s efforts to reduce food waste and fight hunger nationwide; to date, the non-profit’s network of relocation professionals has collected and delivered more than 10 million pounds of food – providing more than 8.2 million meals – to food banks and pantries in the communities they serve.
When people move, they often throw out a good deal of “stuff.” Unfortunately, much of this stuff is food that could be delivered to a family in need, rather than left behind. Armstrong Relocation & Companies has 27 locations across the United States that are collecting those non-perishable food items from their customers and delivering them directly to their local food banks. The service is free to customers and turns every move into an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate, simply by donating the cans and non-perishables on moving day.
“More than 42 million Americans face hunger each and every day. Meanwhile, 40% of the food produced in the United States is wasted,” explains Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. “Without partners like Armstrong Relocation & Companies, we would not be able to continue our mission of getting food to the people who need it most.”
“We consider it a privilege to partner with Move for Hunger across the country,” said Amanda Watson-Johnson, Executive Vice President of Armstrong Relocation & Companies. “It is truly a blessing to be able to offer our customers a vehicle through which they can give back to their local food banks during the moving process. All of our offices are extremely dedicated to serving their respective communities, and this partnership is yet another way for our family of companies to work unified to provide meals for those in need.”
