Move For Hunger was incredibly excited to join our Corporate Housing partners at the annual Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) conference this February in Fort Worth, Texas. Not only were our fantastic members present, but Move For Hunger is also the official charity of this great organization.
The event kicked off with a volunteer activity for CHPA members at the Tarrant Area Food Bank where we were put to work bagging and sorting through over 14,000 pounds of potatoes. Members got down and dirty with the spuds, making 10 pounds bags to be available for those in need in the Fort Worth area. As an added bonus, one of our most supportive partners, Firefighting's Finest Moving and Storage joined the group with their Move For Hunger wrapped truck.
With CHPA's support, Move For Hunger was able to promote the program and enroll new members at the three day conference. In addition to having a table at the event, our own Adam Lowy gave a speech on Move For Hunger, encouraging providers to sign up. A special thanks to CHPA for allowing us the opportunity to educate their members on how they can fight food waste and hunger in their industry.
Move For Hunger was also lucky to present our first ever Corporate Housing Provider of the Year Award to AVE by Korman Communities. With 6 locations in New Jersey and the Greater Philadelphia area enrolled in the program, AVE has gone above and beyond in their fight against hunger and food waste. By participating in events such as our 2nd annual Truck Pull, Team Move For Hunger at the Rock 'n' Roll Philadelphia 1/2 Marathon and planning their own resident parties, AVE is dedicated to the cause. Since they've joined the program, AVE has helped to collect and deliver over 1,900 pounds of food! Thank you AVE for your support, we look forward to an even better 2016!
