March 31, 2022

Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, and Altair Global, the first global mobility company focused solely on experience management, renew their partnership to continue their fight against hunger throughout America.

Altair Global has been actively participating with Move For Hunger since 2012 and officially joined Move For Hunger as a partner in 2016. Since joining the Move For Hunger network, together with their suppliers, they have collected and delivered nearly 4 million pounds of food across the U.S. and Canada. Altair Global is very active within the Move For Hunger network, hosting food drives and fundraisers year-round that make a large impact. With more than 42 million Americans and one in six children being food insecure in the United States, their efforts in the fight against hunger are greatly appreciated.

“Since partnering with Move For Hunger in 2016, Altair's commitment to sustainability across the world has grown and flourished,” said Chad Sterling, CEO of Altair Global. “Now more than ever, we are committed to the goals and mission of the Move For Hunger organization. In 2021, Altair helped rescue one million pounds of food, and we look forward to another productive year of partnership!”

Founded in 2009 by Adam Lowy, Move For Hunger has provided more than 26 million pounds of food, equalling over 22 million meals, to food pantries and banks across the United States. Move For Hunger’s network of more than 1,000 moving companies, over 2,500 multi-family apartment communities, and many of the world’s leading relocation management companies, volunteers to collect unopened, non-perishable food and deliver it to local food banks.

“Every year we are blown away by the impact Altair is able to make on food insecure communities,” said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. “We especially love their annual Grinch-themed Holiday Food Drive! We couldn’t be more proud to have Altair as a partner.”

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.
