For the fourth straight year, City Transfer & Storage Co., an Atlas Van Lines agent, held a fall food drive to fight hunger in North Carolina. Over the course of two weeks in November, employees and members of their community donated 900 lbs. of non-perishable food, which is enough to provide 750 meals!
Nearly 330,000 people in the greater Winston-Salem area are food insecure, including 1 in 5 children. City Transfer and Storage helps fight hunger year-round by asking their customers to donate their food when they move, but they have always been committed to doing more leading up to Thanksgiving and the holiday season. In the four-year history of the food drive, City Transfer has collected more than 6,400 lbs. of food combined -- the equivalent of 5,300 meals.
All of the donations were delivered to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina, which partners with more than 450 food assistance programs in 18 counties to provide meals to children, families, seniors, other people in need.
Thank you to Scott, Karen, and the entire City Transfer & Storage crew for the effort you put into this event year-after-year!
Make it your New Year’s resolution to hold a food drive in 2018.
