Unigroup Conference Hosts ArCANtecture Event with Move For Hunger to Fight Hunger

May 3, 2022

This past March, team members of Move For Hunger headed to the Unigroup Conference in St. Louis, Missouri to host one of our famous ArCANtecture competitions!

ArCANtecture is a team-building event hosted by Move For Hunger, where employees of an organization create structures out of cans ofUnigroupConference2022Arcantecture-Mayflower-32.jpeg food. These structures are judged based on creativity, the amount of food used, and the stability of the design. The winning team receives medals and secures bragging rights for the rest of the year! The food used to create the structures is then donated to a food bank of the winning team’s choice.

A huge congrats to the winning team for this event, Team Truckers! Their award is a donation of over 6,000 meals, made by Unigroup on their behalf, to their food bank of choice.

Mayflower Van Lines, the nation’s most recognized and trusted moving company and part of the Unigroup family, recently partnered with Move For Hunger to fight food insecurity across the nation. Since becoming part of the Move For Hunger network, Mayflower has transported nearly 1 million pounds of donations throughout the United States!

In Missouri, more than 800,000 people are food insecure - thank you to the Unigroup Conference for giving us the chance to showcase our mission and make an impact on food insecure communities! We look forward to working together again!

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.
