IAM Mover of the Year: Crown Relocations

October 13, 2014

Move For Hunger is proud to present the 2014 International Mover of the Year to Crown Relocations, a committed partner in the fight against hunger in North America. The Mover of the Year Award is presented to the relocation company that best represents Move For Hunger’s spirit of philanthropy and service. Crown Relocations will be recognized by Move For Hunger at the International Association of Mover’s annual conference in Orlando.

CrownSince joining Move For Hunger in 2011, Crown Relocations has delivered over 89,000 lbs. of food to food banks all across North America—enough to provide more than 75,000 lifesaving meals to the less fortunate. Movers in the Move For Hunger network actively support their local food banks by urging their customers to donate the non-perishable food items in their pantry or cupboards before the move.

In 2014 alone, agents of Crown Relocations have delivered more than 46,000 lbs. to food banks and hunger relief associations, continuing their outstanding efforts to abolish hunger. Crown Relocations’ strong commitment to hunger relief and international reach was vital to Move For Hunger’s recent expansion into Canada by piloting programs in their Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary offices.

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.
