Our Multifamily Program has continued to grow throughout 2023, with our network of Multifamily communities across the country now including more than 600,000 units! Our multifamily properties worked hard this year to host hundreds of food drives for their communities, collecting 154,646 lbs of food, equaling 128,871 meals, to food insecure individuals in need.
Amongst these food drives was our yearly Spread the Love Food Drive campaign, which Move For Hunger hosts in hopes of encouraging our communities to donate jars of peanut butter and jelly to fight childhood hunger. With our network hosting almost 60 Spread the Love Food Drives and Fundraisers, over 13,000 meals were donated to food banks and pantries all across the country!
Another amazing demonstration of our partners’ commitment to making a difference this year was CORT’s Thanksgiving Food Drive. Spanning over 30 locations across the US, CORT offices came together to collect over 6,000 lbs of food for those in need. In the end, their Thanksgiving food drive allowed for over 8,500 meals to be provided to people in need in communities throughout the country. CORT’s hard work and dedication to fighting hunger is a perfect example of how collective efforts allow us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people.
Community of the Year:
Meridian at Ballston Commons
Each year, one of the properties we partner with goes above and beyond to fight hunger and is awarded the Community of the Year. This year, that award goes to Meridian at Ballston Commons! Across all of the 2,600 properties in our network, they have been chosen as top contributors of 2023!
Based in Arlington, Virginia, the Meridian at Ballston Commons, a Paradigm Management property, joined the Move For Hunger network in 2020. Over the past year, they have collected over 1000 pounds of donations. This brings their total collected donations since joining the network to more than 2,550 lbs, equaling over 2000 meals provided to locals in need!
In Virginia, over 700,000 people are food insecure, with more than 160,000 children not sure where their next meal will come from. We are extremely grateful for Meridian at Ballston Commons for their support in fighting hunger and congratulate them on the amazing impact they have made this year!
