Starwood Pet Travel and Move For Hunger Join Forces in New Partnership

September 10, 2024


After generously sponsoring and participating in our annual Move 2 Fight Hunger Challenge, we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with Starwood Pet Travel. 

With their support, they’re helping us provide over 111,000 meals to those in need. Together, we’re cultivating a new kind of change. For every pet Starwood transports this year, 50 meals will be donated to those in need in the US.
 

"As a transportation company that focuses on pets relocating around the world, we were looking for a partner who was doing amazing things in the country most of our employees lived in. As a US-based company, we see the need around us, and we are so excited to announce that Starwood is donating 50 meals for every pet that we transport through Move for Hunger. We can't wait to hear the stories of how pets traveling the world are helping those here in the US.” - Brett Furlong, CEO Starwood Pet Travel.
 

This year, Starwood Pet Travel sponsored each 4-legged participant in our Move 2 Fight Hunger as our SuPAWter sponsor. In addition to getting their network involved, Starwood Pet Travel employees also actively participated in the challenge across the board. 
 

Still hungry for change, they are not stopping there. This fall, Starwood Pet Travel is also a premier sponsor of our meal kit packing activation at the 2024 Sirva conference, helping us provide 2,000 meals to the greater Orlando community. We’re looking forward to bringing more meals to the plates of those who need it most.

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.
