On August 29th, the Insurance Office of America (IOA) held an ArCanTecture event at their Northeast Regional Event in Ithaca, NY. Over 6,100 lbs of non-perishable food was donated by Wegmans Ithaca for the event - that’s nearly 5,100 meals! The non-perishable items used were
collected by Naglee Moving & Storage and were brought to . In even more good news, IOA donated $8,000, providing more than 20,000 meals!
In October, IOA held their second ArCANtecture event in Buford, Georgia for their southeastern employees. In total, over 25,000 meals were donated to local families in need, with over 5,500lbs of nonperishable donations taken to the Lawrenceville Co-Op Ministry by Hilldrup Moving and Storage.
ArCANtecture is a signature team-building event hosted by Move For Hunger, where the primary goal is to use their architectural skills to create structures out of cans. These structures are then judged on a few different factors: creativity, total food used, and of course, the stability of the design. The winning team wins an award and secures bragging rights for the rest of the year!
Insurance Office of America was founded in 1988 as a full-service insurance agency operating in offices across the country. Since partnering with Move for Hunger in 2021, IOA has helped provide a whopping 96,140 meals! We’re extremely grateful for all of the support we’ve received in the last year.
Whether you choose to hold an ArCanTecture, a Shark Week, or any other kind of food drive, think about what ways you can help and give back to those around you and the community at large.
With the holiday season approaching, now is a great time to start preparing to hold your own food drive. If you’d like to learn more about fighting hunger in your own backyard, or would like to partner with us, please be sure to take a look around our website!
