Alaska Terminals Wraps Truck to Raise Awareness About Hunger

June 21, 2016

Alaska Terminals, an Atlas Van Lines agent, recently wrapped one of its moving trucks to raise awareness about the issue of food insecurity in the state and to encourage its customers to donate their food when they move.

Move For Hunger presented Alaska Terminals with the truck wrap in recognition of being named the non-profit’s Atlas Van Lines Mover of the Year in 2015.
