One of our incredible partners, CORT, has once again demonstrated their unwavering commitment to making a difference in their communities through their Thanksgiving Food Drive. This year's results have left us in awe, showcasing the power of collective action and the impact that can be achieved when individuals and organizations come together for a common cause.
This Thanksgiving, CORT offices from coast to coast rallied together to collect an impressive total of 6,295 pounds of food. These efforts were not just limited to a single location but spanned over 30 locations across the country. The result? More than 8,500 meals provided to those in need during a time when gratitude and abundance are meant to be shared.
These contributions, both large and small, came together to create a powerful impact on communities nationwide. Each pound of food collected represents a meal provided to someone who may have otherwise gone hungry during the holiday season.
Some of the notable contributors from CORT's Thanksgiving Food Drive and the respective food banks they supported:
- CORT Las Vegas (893 lbs): Provided over 740 meals to Three Square Food Bank.
- CORT Connecticut (685 lbs): Provided over 570 meals Connecticut Foodshare.

- CORT Kalamazoo (395 lbs): Provided nearly 330 meals to Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes.
- CORT Seattle (347 lbs): Provided over 285 meals to Northwest Harvest - Western Washington.
These contributions from CORT made a significant impact in their respective regions, ensuring that local food banks have the resources to provide meals to those in need. Their efforts reflect CORT's dedication to making a difference and their commitment to addressing food insecurity in communities across the United States.
Move For Hunger has been honored to partner with CORT since 2021, and the results of this year's Thanksgiving Food Drive have only reinforced the positive impact of our collaboration. Together, we have been able to provide over 1 million meals to those facing food insecurity in the past two years.
CORT's Thanksgiving Food Drive is a shining example of how businesses can use their resources and influence to give back to their communities. Their commitment to fighting hunger and reducing food waste embodies the spirit of the holiday season, reminding us all of the importance of helping those in need.
As we express our gratitude for CORT and all our partners, we also extend our thanks to everyone who contributed to this remarkable food drive. It is through collective efforts like these that we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals and families across the nation.
