Back-to-Back | Gentle Giant Wins AMSA Truck Pull Again!

May 10, 2018

On April 9, the American Moving & Storage Association held it's 2nd annual Truck Pull Fundraiser to support Move For Hunger during their annual conference in Ft. Lauderdale.

A Truck Pull involves teams of 5-10 competing to see who can pull a moving truck in the fastest time. It’s less about strength and more about speed. The winners get bragging rights, fun prizes, and are immortalized on our Truck Pull Trophy. Of course, all proceeds go back to support our mission of mobilizing the relocation industry to reduce food waste and fight hunger. To date, we have helped to feed more than 9 million people and events like this help us put even more food on the table.

For the second year in a row, Gentle Giant Moving Company took home the Truck Pull Championship! Most importantly, an astounding $17,000 was donated - thank you to everyone for this incredible outpouring of generosity!

Here's hoping that next year's Truck Pull is just as fun and continues to inspire members of AMSA to get involved!

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.
