After a long day at work you are making dinner at home and realize that you forget a key ingredient in your family's secret recipe. You drive over to the grocery store, grab what you need and head back home. Grocery shopping can be considered a minute, everyday task to some, but to others it is a luxury that they may not be able to afford. In Lee County, Florida, nearly 93,000 individuals, including one in four children, struggle to find their next meal. Realizing how much hunger affects their community, Frank & Sons Moving & Storage Inc. partnered with Modern Woodmen of America on Saturday, July 11th, to hold food drive at Sam's Club in Cape Coral, Florida, to make a difference in their local community.
Thanks to generous grocery shoppers, over 690 pounds of food was collected in front of Sam's Club in just one day! The food was delivered by Frank & Sons Moving & Storage to the Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida, providing meals to those facing food insecurity in Lee County.
Along with collecting non-perishable food items, monetary donations were also accepted at the food drive. Dedicated to touching lives and securing futures, Modern Woodmen of America matched any donations raised during the food drive, bringing the total amount of donations to over $850!
Food drives such as these have a great impact on the local community. To find out how you can get involved and hold a food drive, visit MoveForHunger.org
