September is Hunger Action Month and we knew that it would only be a matter of time before our friends at Brandon Moving & Storage, a Bekins agent, would jump in to make a difference. And on September 8-9, they did just that by holding two Fill-a-Truck food drives - their 7th and 8th food drives of the year!
Brandon Moving & Storage is no stranger to Fill-A-Truck food drives, but you might be. So what are they, exactly?
Brandon Moving & Storage's first food drive took place on September 8 at Walmart Super Center in Clinton, AR and collected an incredible 3,100 pounds of food for the Choctaw Food Bank. The very next day, another 1,840 pounds were collected at 10 Box Cost Plus in Conway. Those donation were delivered to the Community Action Program for Central Arkansas (CAPCA). Combined, Brandon Moving & Storage spent the weekend collecting enough food to provide more than 4,000 meals! What a great way to kick off Hunger Action Month!
More than 500,000 people in Arkansas struggle with food insecurity, including 1 in 4 children. The statistic is scary, but what's incredible is that Brandon Moving & Storage has collected more than 15,300 pounds of food for Arkansas residents this year ALONE. Their continuous hard work and dedication is most appreciated, and we are so honored to fight hunger alongside them.
