The staff at the Hilton Garden Inn in Arcadia, California wanted to do something to help local families facing hunger this holiday season, so they decided to host a food drive from November 1-15. Employees, guests, and members of the community were encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable, Thanksgiving themed items, such as stuffing, cranberry sauce, instant mashed potatoes, and canned vegetables, to the drop-off point in the hotel's lobby.
Our friends at Beltmann Relocation Group of Los Angeles volunteered to assist with the food drive by providing boxes for the collection and delivering all of the donations Santa Fe Springs Neighborhood Center.
Did you know that nearly 1.4 million people, including 1 in 5 children, in Los Angeles County struggle with food insecurity? Those are staggering numbers, and we're grateful to have concerned partners like Hilton Garden Inn of Arcadia and Beltmann Relocation who are actively working to address the problem.
If you are interested in helping to fight huger in your community, why not host a food drive of your own? Move For Hunger can help you plan, promote, and coordinate the event from start to finish - all free of charge.
