Coastal Carrier Moving & Storage held a food drive on Saturday, May 16 and collected 500 lbs. of non-perishable food!
The event was held at Sea Merchants Grocery Store, and the team from Coastal Carrier Moving & Storage was on hand to encourage shoppers to donate canned goods, pasta, peanut butter, and other shelf stable items. Coastal Carrier Moving & Storage then personally delivered to Help Center at Federal Point, where it was distributed to families, children, and seniors who are facing hunger during the COVID-19 crisis.
"Thank you to everyone who made this food drive a success," said Coastal Carrier Moving & Storage in a Facebook post. "We appreciate all of the support from the community that we are so proud to be a member of!"
Hunger is rising all across the country as a result of the pandemic, and Wilmington, NC is no exception. Thank you to our friends from Coastal Carrier Moving & Storage for taking action and providing 415 meals for their neighbors in need!
The COVID-19 Pandemic has left a massive economic impact and has drastically increased the need for emergency food assistance nationwide. Move For Hunger is actively searching for ways to meet the demand, but we're going to need your help.
