AVE Awarded Move For Hunger’s First Hunger Fighting Champion Award

May 6, 2022

Move For Hunger has created a new award to showcase our hunger fighting heroes in a new light! 

The Hunger Fighting Champion Award is a quarterly award that is given to a partner that has gone above and beyond in the fight againstLiveBetter Bracelet3.png hunger. This includes anything likefundraising, hosting a food drive with a large impact, participating in a campaign or event, etc.

For the first quarter of 2022, AVE, a brand of Korman Commuinities that owns a multitude of luxury apartments, was awarded the FIRST Hunger Fighting Champion Award for their collaboration with Little Words Project. Throughout the month of February, AVE and Little Words Project teamed up to create a special bracelet inspired by its mission to deliver flexible, carefree living. Little Words Project then donated 25% of its profits from bracelet purchases to Move For Hunger. 

From this unique campaign and collaboration, more than 2,500 meals were provided to food insecure communities!

AVE was one of the first multi-family partners of Move For Hunger back in 2015. Since then, their properties have regularly participated in themed food drives and our ‘Donate Your Food When You Move’ program, which encourages residents of multifamily properties to donate their food to food insecure communities when they move out. AVE has helped provide more than 138,000 meals to those in need.

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.
