Semi-Annual Craft Beer and Food Truck Festival Supports Fight To End Hunger
The LivingSocial Beerfest brings together thousands of beer enthusiasts for a celebration of domestic and imported lagers, ales, stouts and IPAs at the Half-Street Fairgrounds in Washington D.C. Thanks to our friends at LivingSocial, we were invited to spread word about our organization's mission and raise funds to support our fight against hunger.
We had our now-famous Big Beer pong setup throughout the day as well as food drive collection boxes to collect donations for the less fortunate of the D.C. metro area. Many in attendance were shocked to learn that D.C. has the second highest food insecurity rate for children in the entire country.
In fact, nearly 30% of all children in Washington D.C. live in food-insecure households and much of the city is designated as a 'food desert'-an area or neighborhood that lacks access to affordable and nutritious food.
Our local mover, Crown Relocations, was generous to donate their resources to transport the food collected to the local food bank.

A big thank you to all that donated food, visited the Move For Hunger booth and of course LivingSocial for providing us the opportunity to spread awareness to thousands of people in attendance.
