About 163 pounds of food was collected, which equates to 136 meals for the community! Preferred Moving & Storage, a Wheaton agent, volunteered to deliver the food collections to Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan.

There are over 1.5 million people in Michigan who face hunger, including one in five children.

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.
