Thanks to the hard work of our network and partners, 2023 was Move For Hunger’s most impactful year yet! Throughout 2023, we transported and delivered 9,929,944 lbs of donations, equaling 8,274, 953 meals, to food banks and pantries across the country!
We are extremely grateful for all of the partners and movers who have joined Move For Hunger in the fight against food insecurity and food waste, but here are a few that stood out this past year!
Mover of the Year: Nelson Westerberg
Nelson Westerberg has been a Move For Hunger partner since 2012 and has since delivered 1 million lbs of food to people in need, equalling over 832,000 meals that have been distributed from their various locations across the country.
Originally based in Illinois, they have now expanded their reach to four other states, in which all of their locations have played a role in the fight against hunger! For instance, in early April of 2023, Nelson Westerberg volunteered to help deliver weekly donations of nutritious foods to communities throughout Georgia.
In the first 6 weeks of these deliveries alone, they were able to provide the equivalent of over 61, 000 meals! Their commitment to fighting hunger didn’t go unnoticed in previous years either! In 2021, Nelson Westerberg was named Move For Hunger’s “Partner of the Year” after they contributed more than 80,000 pounds of food, equalling over 67,000 meals that year!
Nelson Westerberg and its team have shown their unwavering commitment to help in the fight against hunger. We are so grateful to have them as part of the Move For Hunger team and congratulate them on winning the Mover of the Year Award for 2023!
