The December 2023 Mover of the Month award goes to Armstrong Company of Lancaster!

December 22, 2023

Each month, Move For Hunger highlights a moving company that has gone above and beyond with their work to fight against hunger. Armstrong Company of Lancaster is the final company of 2023 to be awarded with this honor!

Armstrong Company of Lancaster in Pennsylvania has made a huge impact in the fight against hunger, participating in bulk food recovery transports. In December alone, Armstrong Company of Lancaster moved over 60,000 lbs of non-perishable food to the Midwest Food Bank in Middletown, Pennsylvania.

"Move For Hunger is always there for our industry and helps facilitate the giving, and the enhancement of our industry’s reputation. Feeding people who need help is a God given responsibility, given to everyone who is not suffering from hunger. Just lend a hand. You live right, good things happen."
- Mark Brandenburger

Armstrong Company of Lancaster joined the Move For Hunger network in 2018 and has since helped transport enough donations to provide over 53,000 meals to communities in need around the Harrisburg area. 

“It’s always important to give back when you are able," Brandenburger continued. "Helping others also helps to cleanse one’s soul. We have a great team of folks. We look for “nice, careful and hardworking” in our employees and contractors. If we get those traits, most everything else falls into place.”

In Pennsylvania, more than 1.2 million people are struggling with food insecurity, including nearly 400,000 children. Every donation transport our network makes helps put food on the table for families who don’t have enough. 

If you are a mover and would like to make a difference in the communities you serve, consider joining the Move For Hunger network!

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.
