Kicking off 2024 on a good note, Just-In Time moving awarded January 2024 Mover of the Month

March 12, 2024

Each month, Move For Hunger highlights a moving company that has gone above and7-min.png beyond with their work to fight against hunger. The first company of 2024 to be awarded with this honor is Just-In Time Moving!

Just-In Time Moving, based in Mesa, AZ, completed over 200 food transports to the United Food Bank, moving over 1.6 million lbs of food in 2023! This translates to 1.3 million meals provided to food insecure communities in the Mesa area.

We originally partnered with Mover For Hunger when Adam Lowy spoke at the Industry Association Yearly Conference, and they were celebrating the achievements of Move For Hunger from being 10 years old as an organization and how easy it was to get involved.
- George Philips, Business Development Manager, Just-In Time Moving

"I mean, we have trucks and have boxes and moved customers who have food that they sometimes throw away. What we didn't realize was that COVID and other struggles would start less than a year later, and we would get a call from a local food bank who needed help through Move For Hunger,” Philips continued.

Just-In Time Moving joined the Move For Hunger network in 2019 and has since helped transport over 5.3 million lbs of donations from various food drives and events. This provides over 3.5 million meals to communities in need!

Inflation & food insecurity are on the rise

Cuts to SNAP benefits and inflation have had a devastating economic impact and filled the lines at food banks and pantries across the country. More than 47 million Americans including 1 in 5 children are struggling with food insecurity and do not know where their next meal is coming from. 

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.
