Delaware Moving & Storage, a Wheaton Worldwide agent, held their annual fall food drive and fundraiser on Saturday, November 4.
Members of the Bear, DE community were asked to bring donations of non-perishable food to help provide meals for the more than 114,000 people, including 1 in 6 children, in Delaware that face hunger each day. Guests were then invited to stick around for a craft bazaar, music presented by Rock Dat Entertainment, and food from Sherm's Catering.
Donors streamed in throughout the morning with bags and boxes for their neighbors in need. Local Acme stores even donated $85 in gift cards, which the Delaware Moving & Storage crew used to purchase additional canned goods. In total, more than 1,200 lbs. of food was collected and delivered to several church food pantries in the area. That's enough to provide 1,000 meals!
Thank you to everyone at Delaware Moving & Storage for reminding us that communities can make a difference when everyone comes together.
