AVE is a leading corporate housing provider has always been one of our favorite partners. Since joining our network back in 2015, AVE has held food drives every September to celebrate Hunger Action Month. This year, they helped us tackle hunger in a whole new way.
AVE's goal was to collect 1,000 lbs. of food between all of the properties. We're happy to report that, not only did they hit that mark, they nearly doubled it! The properties collected 1,900 lbs. of food overall, which is enough to provide 1,580 meals!
“AVE is a proud partner of Move For Hunger," said Lea Anne Welsh, COO, Korman Communities; President, AVE. "Our teams really go above and beyond to organize a fun event every year to really drive those donations. Our team members, residents, and partners are so generous. Since 2015, we’ve collected 9,795 pounds of food, which will provide 8,163 meals.”
Gentle Giant Moving Company of Philadelphia also picked up the food from 3 locations and delivered it all to Philabundance.
Crown Relocations of New York helped out by picking up the donations from 3 properties and delivering them to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.
Main Street Movers, a Bekins agent, picked up the donations from the Florham Park location and delivered them to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.
Two Men & A Truck of West Chester/Philadelphia picked up the donations from the Landsdale property and delivered them to Manna on Main Street.
In California, Anderson Bros. Movers picked up the donations from AVE's Walnut Creek property and delivered them to the Food Bank Contra Costa Solano, while Shamrock Moving & Storage of San Francisco picked up the donations from the Emeryville location and delivered them to Second Harvest Santa Clara & San Mateo.
