As the Holiday Season Approaches, Weichert Workforce Mobility Continues Partnership with Move For Hunger to Fight Food Insecurity

November 1, 2022

Weichert Workforce Mobility, a leading provider of global employee relocation services, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, continue their partnership to provide hunger relief nationwide.

Weichert Workforce Mobility has been a committed partner of Move For Hunger since 2019. Over the past three years, they have rescued and delivered almost 2.5 million meals to food insecure communities throughout the United States. 

"Move For Hunger’s mission touches two of our pledges as an organization: our commitment to pursuing sustainable, environmentally-friendly ways to conduct our business, and supporting meaningful causes in communities around the world,” said Chris Brunone, EVP, Talent Development and Colleague Engagement. “To date, our partnership has yielded nearly 3 million pounds of food for those most in need. And we’re ready to do more."

Throughout the month of June, Weichert Workforce Mobility and another corporate sponsor collaborated with Move For Hunger to launch the 2022 Move 2 Fight Hunger Challenge. With more than 760 participants joining together to fight hunger nationwide, the month-long challenge provided over 92,000 meals to communities in need.

Brunone continues, “Here at Weichert Workforce Mobility, our colleagues are as committed to supporting families in need in their communities as they are to supporting relocating families. Our partnership with Move For Hunger makes it incredibly easy for our colleagues to make a difference and give to others in times of change, in times of need, and in times of difficulty."

Move For Hunger was founded in 2009 by Adam Lowy and now has built out an elaborate network of supporters. It includes over 1,100 moving companies, including many of the world’s leading relocation management companies, and more than 3,000 multifamily apartment communities. Move For Hunger has provided over 29 million pounds of food, equaling more than 24 million meals, to those in need.

“Weichert Workforce Mobility has been an incredible partner since the day they became part of our network,“ said Adam Lowy, Founder and Executive Director of Move For Hunger. “With the holiday season approaching, food insecure families are often forced to choose between buying food and paying for utilities, like electricity or gas, or even giving gifts for loved ones. Our partners enable us to feed more people, allowing families to have access to food and afford their bills.”

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.
