Once again, Move For Hunger was honored to be part of the Corporate Housing Providers Association's (CHPA) annual conference in Huntington Beach, California. Held right on the Pacific Coast Highway, this conference featured a lot of sun, surf, and sand, but attendees also made time to fight hunger while they were there.
The activities began with a volunteer shift at the Someone Cares Soup Kitchen in Costa Mesa. This facility provides a daily nutritional meal to homeless, unemployed, working poor families, senior citizens, under-employed, the mentally and physically challenged, and children. The Move For Hunger staff and employees from B&B Rentals and Cort Furniture Rental rolled up their sleeves to prepare meals for the approximately 350 people that are served by this kitchen daily.
CHPA also supported Move For Hunger throughout the conference by providing numerous fundraising and promotional opportunites.
On Tuesday morning, dedicated members showed up bright and early for a walk along the beach with the Move For Hunger team, raising money and awareness for the cause. In addition, professional headshots were provided in exchange for a donation. Funds were also raised through a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle.
Finally, Move For Hunger honored our Corporate Housing Provider of the Year, VIP Corporate Housing. The team at VIP have gone above and beyond to fight hunger and food waste in the relocation industry. Not only have they made regular donations, VIP has also held food drives and has signed on as a signature partner. Since becoming a member in 2016, VIP Corporate Housing has collected more than 700 pounds of food - enough to provide about 600 meals.
Our partnership with CHPA continues to grow thanks to it members, and we are so grateful for their support.
