Move For Hunger likes to recognize a company each month that stands out in their efforts to stop hunger. For April, Move For Hunger’s Mover of the Month is Reebie Storage & Moving of Naperville, Illinois. Reebie Storage & Moving, an agent of Allied Van Lines has been a partner of Move For Hunger since 2013. Reebie Storage & Moving was founded in 1880 and is now one of the best-known and respected moving and storage companies in Chicago. Reebie believes in giving back to the community; for the benefit of their neighbors, they have donated significant time and resources.
To date, Reebie goes above and beyond to ensure that people donate their unwanted food when they move. To date, they have collected over 176,000 pounds of food, delivering more than 147,000 meals to the Chicago area.
Reebie Storage & Moving does more than just transporting food to food banks. They pick up unopened, non-perishable food items from their customers and the community year-round, no matter the weather conditions.
While many people believe that hunger is a problem in other countries, it is also a big issue in our own backyards. 1 in 6 Americans don’t have enough to eat, including nearly 16 million children. Reebie Storage & Moving is helping alleviate the pressure hunger puts on not only Americans, but more specifically the 1,755,180 people in Illinois that do not know where they will find their next meal.
Some examples of the work they have done includes helping the boys lacrosse team in Mermion reach their goal of collecting 2,200lbs. of non-perishable food items which was donated to Loaves & Fishes and the Illinois National Food Bank.
They also helped tornado victims in Fairdale, Illinois along with the Naperville Chamber of Commerce. They delivered food and everyday necessities, including cleaning products, baby supplies, gift cards, pet food, and much more.
It is obvious that Reebie Storage & Moving are more than deserving of this award. Hopefully now more attention will be brought to all the good they are doing for their community. There is no doubt they will keep up the good work in the future!
