Sunshine Rentals Pledges to Fight Hunger and Reduce Food Waste

February 24, 2017

VISTA, CA – Sunshine Rentals and Move For Hunger are proud to announce their continued partnership to fight hunger and provide much-needed support to food pantries across the United States. As a proud partner of the national hunger-relief organization for the past three years, Sunshine Rentals supports Move For Hunger’s efforts to reduce food waste and fight hunger; to date, the non-profit’s network of relocation professionals has collected and delivered more than 7.6 million pounds of food – providing more than 6.3 million meals – to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada.

“Since joining Move For Hunger in 2015, Sunshine Rentals has rescued 1,800 pounds of food from their corporate housing clients – that’s enough to provide 1,500 meals to families in need,” explains Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. “We are proud to call Sunshine Rentals our partners in the fight to end hunger and reduce food waste.”

"When I first heard about Move for Hunger and what they were doing, I knew then that Sunshine Rentals could help make a difference,” said Mark Strumwasser of Sunshine Rentals. “As the Operations Team for some of the largest and most well respected Corporate Housing Companies, one of our many roles is to handle the move out process for their corporate apartments. During this process, the guests always seem to leave food behind that use to go to waste, with Move for Hunger that is no longer the case! Thank you to all our partners for helping us to help others. ”

With one in seven Americans affected by food insecurity, including over 15 million children, it has never been more important to come together to help our neighbors in need. Through the support of partners like Sunshine Rentals, Move For Hunger can continue to help the nearly 50 million Americans struggling to find their next meal.

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.
