The Lafayette at Valley Forge Collects 1,800 lbs of Food Donations, and is Named June’s Community of the Month!

July 12, 2022

Every month, Move For Hunger recognizes and congratulates an exceptional multifamily community that has put in tremendous effort in helping us fight hunger! For June, we are excited to announce our Community of the Month winner, The Lafayette at Valley Forge!

Located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and operated by the Westover Companies, The Lafayette at Valley Forge collected 1,800 lbs of food, or 1,500 meals over the past few months! 

Lafayette at Valley Forge participated in the Westover Companies Earth Day food drive throughout the month of April, and the 1,000 lbs of food donations were delivered to the Food Bank of South Jersey. Then they collected a whopping 758 more pounds of food as part of the move out program! 

"The Westover Companies is proud to partner with Move For Hunger," said Devin McCullough, Property Manager at The Lafayette at Valley Forge. "We are so grateful to our residents, past and present, who have helped to donate to such a worthy cause. Having seen the amount of food waste in the apartment industry first-hand, we appreciate an outlet for good that Move For Hunger provides to both prevent food waste and help out those who need it."

The Lafayette at Valley Forge has been with us since the beginning of 2018 and have worked with us to collect over 2,170 lbs, or over 1,800 meals, within the last four years. We are so grateful for our partnership with Lafayette at Valley Forge and Westover Companies, and we are so excited to see what’s next!
