To end the month of October, CORT and Move For Hunger hosted a double impact event during their Global Network Partner meeting. The day started with high energy trivia paired with a meal packing activation that helped provide 120 meals to Oxon Hill Food Pantry in Maryland.
In 2018 CORT and Move For Hunger partnered together to reduce food waste and move more meals. CORT, is the leader in home and office furniture rental, and has become an esteemed partner with us through transporting food donations from most of the 2,700 apartment communities that are part of our extensive multifamily network.
Over the years, CORT has created a major impact on hunger relief efforts - delivering and contributing more than 1 million lbs of food donations from our 2,700+ multifamily communities. Just this year their efforts have provided over 1,500 meals across the country.
Last year, CORT was awarded Partner of the Year after transporting over 363,000 lbs of food. This is more than 303,000 meals donated to help food banks and pantries serve their communities.
At their latest event with us, we tackled important issues such as hunger and food waste, with curated questions about CORT’s industry and company during our trivia team building event. Then their team gathered together to pack meal kits to give back to their community.
Since our kits are designed to feed a family of four, the 120 meals that were donated could hypothetically feed a family dinner for 30 days straight. With 47 million Americans facing food insecurity, every meal and donation counts. This event ended with more knowledge, meals, and team morale.
Corporate social responsibility events like these aim to support local communities and help those facing food insecurity. From trivia to meal kit packing, bring your team out for some fun while making an impact in the fight against hunger.
