June 13, 2022

North American Van Lines, Inc., one of the world's largest van lines and a provider of the highest quality personalized moving experience for over 88 years, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, have announced their ninth partnership renewal. 

Since 2011, North American Van Lines, and their parent company SIRVA, have been dedicated partners of Move For Hunger. Over the past 11 years, North American Van Lines has had over 75 agents join the network and has transported more than 600,000lbs of food donations. This helps provide around 500,000 meals to food insecure communities in the United States. NAVL_FPFD_2022.jpeg

"With inflation rising to record levels, more individuals than ever are finding it increasingly difficult
to put food on the table and are turning to food banks for assistance,” said Kevin Murphy, Vice President and General Manager. “With no let-up in sight for those in need, food banks continue to face unprecedented demand. Since 2011, northAmerican®️ and its agent network have been honored to partner with Move For Hunger in its fight against food insecurity.” 

Move For Hunger was founded in 2009 by Adam Lowy and now has a network of over 1,100 moving companies, many of the world’s leading relocation management companies, and more than 2,500 multi-family apartment communities. All of these organizations are helping to fight to end hunger by collecting food items and delivering them to local food banks in the United States and Canada. 

“North American Van Lines has always been a fantastic supporter of Move For Hunger,” said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. “They joined our network very early on and have proven time and time again their dedication to helping end hunger in America.“

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.
