New York City is a place where something's happening every minute. In a city so big and sprawling it can be hard to keep track of issues such as food insecurity. From October 1-12, however, four hotels in the Big Apple held food drives and collected 450 lbs. of non-perishables for The Food Bank of New York City. Getting all that food to the Food Bank, however, is a whole another challenge. That's where Move For Hunger can help!
Our partners from Crown Relocations volunteered to pick up the donations from each of the four participating hotels and delivered them all to the Food Bank. If you've ever tried to maneuver a car through the streets of Manhattan, you'll appreciate what a logistical feat it was for a moving truck! Crown's assistance meant much more than that, though. Transportation is a significant and sometimes prohibitive expense for food banks. Because of Crown's help, the Food Bank will be able to allocate the resources they would have had to spend on this food drive to some of their other programs.
More than 1.2 million people in New York City face hunger every single day, including 1 in 5 children. Thank you to Bob, Jennifer, Lisa, and the rest of the team from Crown Relocations for always being a company we know we can count on!
