Move For Hunger and Today’s Local Media Renew Partnership in the Fight Against Hunger Nationwide

February 27, 2022

Today’s Local Media, a full-service marketing agency serving moving companies nationwide, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced that they have renewed a partnership that will reduce food waste and fight hunger nationwide.

Today’s Local Media partnered with Move For Hunger in 2020 and has since contributed nearly 20,000 meals to food insecure communities nationwide. They have also been named a top 50 marketing agency in the United States every year since 2018, and have many clients that also contribute to the mission of Move For Hunger.

It was important for us to take a more active role in the fight against hunger,” said Ben Wright, Founder, Today's Local Media. “Because we work directly with movers across the country, we have an even greater ability and responsibility to help. We are a family owned and operated organization. And there seems like no better organization to partner with than one that feeds families in need.”

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, more than 2,000 multi-family apartment communities, and many of the world’s leading relocation management companies, volunteer to collect this unopened, non-perishable food and deliver it to their local food banks.

“With the support of partners like Today’s Local Media, Move For Hunger is able to continue to make an impact throughout the United States and Canada at such a pivotal point in time,” said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger.

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.
