Five-Star Moving Crew Transports 2,500 LBS. of Food

April 22, 2020

Food banks are struggling to meet the increasing need for assistance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and members of the Move For Hunger network have been volunteering to help whenever they can! Just last week, for example, the team from Five Star Moving Crew volunteered to deliver 2,500 lbs. of food - that's approximately 2,000 meals - from an Amazon warehouse to God's Kitchen of Kenosha, an organization that provides food, clothing, and supplies to vulnerable populations in the area.

Five-Star Moving Crew is one of the newest members of our network, and they have made an immediate impact. Since joining Move For Hunger in July, Five Star Moving Crew has delivered 4,500 lbs. of food and provided nearly 4,000 meals to people in their community.

Nearly 600,00 people in Wisconsin, including 1 in 6 children are facing food insecurity prior to the coronavirus outrbreak. Those numbers have only multiplied in recent weeks. Thank you to the Five-Star Moving Crew for continuing to help your neighbors in need, even during this extremely difficult time.


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.

If you can, please consider making a donation to Move For Hunger. With your support, we'll be able to rapidly respond and mobilize our network in communities across the United States and Canada.

Inflation & food insecurity are on the rise

Cuts to SNAP benefits and inflation have had a devastating economic impact and filled the lines at food banks and pantries across the country. More than 47 million Americans including 1 in 5 children are struggling with food insecurity and do not know where their next meal is coming from. 

For people of color and other minorities, the situation is even worse. Hunger disproportionately affects the Black population, the Latinx community, LGBTQ+ individuals, and more. 

USDA TERMINATES FOOD SECURITY REPORT 

September 22: The USDA announced termination of future Household Food Security Reports USDA, which had tracked hunger nationwide for nearly 30 years. The most recent data revealed that one in seven households — 47.4 million people, including 13.8 million children — were food insecure. For more than three decades, the report was been the gold standard for measuring whether a household lacks consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. “Eliminating data collection strips away the evidence that proves these programs work, where investment is needed, and who is being left out,” Crystal FitzSimons, president, Food Research & Action Center said in a statement.
