November Mover of the Month: Liffey Van Lines

December 8, 2016

Each month, we highlight one of the moving companies in our network for their extraordinary commitment to fighting hunger in their community. We are excited to announce that Liffey Van Lines is our Mover of the Month for November, 2016!

In November, Move For Hunger had more people volunteer to host food drives than in any month of our 7-year history. Danny, Kieran, and the rest of the team at Liffey Van Lines went above and beyond to assist with several drives we were planning in New York City. Despite short notice and an already busy schedule, Liffey agreed to help out every time we asked. Because of their support, for example, the employees at Bitly were able to collect 250 pounds of food - more than 200 meals - during their second annual holiday food drive.liffey

Since joining the program five years ago, Liffey Van Lines has delivered more than 2,100 pounds of food - that's over 1,800 meals - to the New York Common Pantry.

Congratulations to Liffey Van Lines on this much-deserved recognition. Thank you for commitment to reducing food waste and fighting hunger in the Big Apple!

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.
