Each month, we highlight one of the moving companies in our network for their extraordinary commitment to fighting hunger in their community. We are excited to announce that AMS Relocation, a Bekins agent, has been named our Mover of the Month for July 2018!
For nearly 6 years, AMS Relocation has been helping us reduce food waste and fight hunger throughout California's Bay Area. During that time, they have delivered more than 11,000 lbs. of food to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara & San Mateo Counties -- which is enough to provide more than 9,300 meals. What's most impressive about AMS Relocation, however, is their consistency. It seems like every month they are dropping off 200-300 lbs. of food! That's a testament to their crew, who must be reminding every single customer to donate their food when they move.
AMS Relocation has also volunteered to help out with their share of food drives, too! And in July they took on their biggest challenge since becoming a member of our network in 2012. Our partners from Prodesse Property Group wanted to hold Shark Week Food Drives at all 46 of their multi-family properties in California. We were, of course, thrilled to hear that they wanted to include all of their locations, but it did present a logistical challenge. Would we able to find movers to drop off boxes and pick up the donations from multiple locations during their busy season? Our events team thought we would need more than one company to handle this massive food drive, so we were shocked and ecstatic when AMS Relocation offered to do it all themselves! Thanks to their generosity, nearly 1,500 lbs. of canned tuna, salmon, and other non-perishable goods were delivered to the food bank during the hungriest time of year.
This is the second time that AMS Relocation has been honored for their commitment to our cause. In 2015, they delivered more than 8,500 lbs. of food and were named our Bekins Mover of the Year. Something tells us this won't be the last award they take home!
In addition to the award, AMS Relocation will also be receiving a special gift from Victory Packaging and Move For Hunger truck decals for their entire fleet. Congratulations to AMS Relocation on this much-deserved recognition. Thank you for commitment to reducing food waste and fighting hunger in the Golden State!
