As anyone who's ever worked in the relocation industry will tell you, summer is the busiest time of year. The increased workload hasn't stopped our partners from making time to give back to their communities. Since May, our moving partners have delivered over 473,000 pounds of food - that's over 394,000 meals - to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada. Here's a closer look at just a few of the events they've been involved in this summer:
Mark's Moving & Storage, an Arpin agent, filled a truck with over 1,000 pounds of food to support the Needham Community Council Food Pantry in Massachusetts.
White Glove Moving, Storage & Delivery partnered with over a dozen businesses in the Vero Beach, Florida area to host a summer food drive.
Montway Auto Transport and Movers Specialty Service were our first members to hold "Can the CEO" food drives.
NorthStar Moving collected over 7,000 pounds of food during their Let's Send Hunger Packing drive.
Dunmar Moving Systems of Roanoke teamed up with a Harley Davidson dealership in Lynchburg, Virginia to collect over 600 pounds of food over Labor Day weekend.

A number of our partners once again volunteered their time to assist with the NALC's Stamp Out Hunger food drive.
