Midwest Moving & Storage, a Stevens Van Lines agent, held a Fill-A-Truck food drive from November 20-December 18 to help fight hunger in Illinois during the holiday season.
Local residents were asked to donate non-perishable food, such as peanut butter, tuna fish, canned soup, and canned fruits/vegetables, to help provide meals for their neighbors in need. Donations were accepted at Midwest Moving & Storage's office in Elk Grove, as well as the Schaumburg Business Association in Schaumburg, and the GOA Regional Business Association in Itasca. Nearly 300 lbs. of food was collected in total, enough to provide 230 meals!
All of the donations were delivered to the School District 54 Food Pantry at Margaret Mead Junior High, courtesy of Midwest Moving & Storage.
"We are looking forward to doing this again next year and already have some feedback for ideas from some of our helpers," said Kari-Ann Ryan, Corporate Brand Ambassador for Midwest Moving & Storage.
There are more than 1.5 million people in Illinois, including 1 in 6 children, who are struggling with food insecurity every day. Thank you to the crew at Midwest Moving & Storage for helping to raise awareness about the crisis facing your community.
