We couldn’t love Love+Relo more, the daily podcast for the relocation industry from the mastermind, Ben Cross. Ben is the Vice President of Business Development of University Moving & Storage, an agent of North American Van Lines, and during September’s Hunger Action Month, Ben went on a full-out blitz to help us tackle hunger.
Each Friday as part of his podcast, Ben would focus on fighting hunger. From interviewing some of the leading voices in food security to a Telethon fundraiser to virtual trivia using Kahoot, Ben did a little bit of everything to help get the word out and to raise money. We even co-branded a limited edition Love + Relo shirt where the proceeds went back to Move For Hunger.
"I never cease to be amazed at the generosity of the global mobility, relocation and moving industries,” Ben said. “We had done events before and on our own, but when a group of leaders comes together as the Corporate Action Network did, it's like putting together a Dream Team! I think it's easy to miss the opportunity that we each have, every day to make a difference. When we utilize the reach and influence of our companies, that impact becomes magnified.”

Ben also used his connections to get Kroger involved. The grocery chain matched up to $10,000. The entire month Love + Relo fundraised $30,000 which funds programs to provide over 70,000 meals.
“I was so grateful to Kroger as well who stepped up with an enormous matching donation, and all the companies who allowed their leaders the time to work the phones!"

We couldn’t thank Ben and the Love + Relo community enough. That money will go a long way to help fight the hunger crisis in America which has gotten worse since the start of the pandemic.
