College Students Team Up With Easy Movers To Feed the Needy
On Saturday, February 22, Move For Hunger teamed up with Towson University students and Easy Movers Inc., a Wheaton moving agent, to fill-a-truck at Shoppers in Sykesville, Maryland.
The event collected 1,240 pounds which went to the Maryland Food Bank. These donations will provide enough meals to feed 1,033 hungry people in Carroll County.
In addition to allowing people to drop off their own non-perishable food items, Shoppers Food sold pre-packaged bags for $5 containing non-perishable food items for people to donate.
"We filled 33 boxes throughout the day and had fun the entire time," said Lauren Rosso, a Towson University student who organized the food drive. "It was a great experience and definitely something that we will try to do again and recommend to others." Lauren also had assistance from her friend Katie Owings, a student at University of Delaware.
Move For Hunger would like to thank Easy Movers Inc. for transporting the donations, Maryland Food Bank for their collection, Shoppers Food of Sykesville for hosting the fill-a-truck and Lauren plus friends for putting together the event.
