As BHHS First Realty joined the fight against hunger with a bang! As a Move For Hunger partner since May, BHHS First Realty hosted a successful office food drive in Wes Des Moines, Iowa during the month of July. The drive collected food for the 300,000 people in Iowa who are at risk for hunger.
With high aspirations, BHHS First Realty announced, that if they met a goal of 500 pounds of food collected, they would host a BBQ for residents. With the incentiveset, they began collection. When the month concluded, BHHS First Realty far exceeded their goal. They collected 640 pounds of non-perishable food. This amounts to 533 meals that will go to the people of Iowa. They celebrated with a well-deserved BBQ at the end of July.
Prairie Van and Storage a local agent of Atlas Van lines, picked up the donations and delivered them to the Lutheran Church of Hope West Des Moines. This saved the church the money for fuel, trucks, and insurance that would go to transporting the food on their own. Company collaboration facilitated a successful donation to fight hunger!
