The Girl Scouts have been around since 1912 and one of their mottos is "A Girl Scout is ready to help out wherever she is needed. Willingness to serve is not enough; you must know how to do the job well, even in an emergency." Well, with a little help from one of our movers, the Girl Scouts Peaks to Piedmont certainly found a way to help their neighbors in need this spring.
On April 23, the Girl Scouts Peaks to Piedmont noticed that they still had 516 cases of leftover cookies and did not want them to go to waste, so they decided to donate them to their local food pantry. But how would they ever be able to deliver all of those cookies?
That's where we come in! Our friends at City Transfer & Storage, an Atlas Van Lines agent, volunteered to pick up and deliver the 3,700 lbs. of cookies to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina.
City Transfer Storage has been a proud member of the Move For Hunger network since 2013. Over the past six years, they have delivered more than 11,700 lbs. of food, which is the equivalent of 9,700 meals! More than 308,000 people, including 1 in 5 children, in Northwest North Carolina are food insecure.
Thank you to the Girl Scouts Peaks to Piedmont and to everyone at City Transfer Storage for thinking of your neighbors in need!
Want to host a food drive in your hometown? We’d love to help!
