All-Ways Moving & Storage Transports 28,000 Meals & Wins Mover of the Month

June 25, 2021

Every month Move For Hunger awards a moving company with the title Mover of the Month in thanks for all they do to fight hunger by moving the food to where it needs to go. This month, All-Ways Moving & Storage of Laguna Hills, California, a National Van Lines agent, earns the honor.

Throughout May and June, All-Ways Moving & Storage transported food from Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, California to Laguna Food Pantry in Laguna Beach every week. Ultimately, they transported over 33,500 pounds of food which is equal to nearly 28,000 meals!

“We at All-Ways Moving & Storage are a family-run business that feels as if it’s our duty to take part in helping make our community a better place,” said Parker Harvey, a sales consultant at All-Ways Moving & Storage. “Being able to partner up with great companies like Move For Hunger and the Laguna Beach Food Pantry have given us the resources to help those in need and make us feel as though we are truly making a small dent in the fight against hunger.” 

They became a member of Move For Hunger back in 2015 and since then have transported more than 109,000 pounds of food, or over 91,000 meals. We are grateful for their hard work. 

While 91,000 meals is a lot, there is still a long way to go. In Orange County, California, 264,430 people (1 in 12 people) face hunger. In all of California, over 4,000,000 people are food insecure.

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.
