Mover Milestone | A-1 Freeman Moving & Storage of Dallas Delivers 1,000 Meals

October 2, 2017

A-1 Freeman of Dallas has been recognized for delivering 1,400 pounds of food – enough to provide more than 1,000 meals – to the North Texas Food Bank.

As part of Move For Hunger’s national network of relocation professionals, A-1 Freeman provides their customers with the opportunity to donate unopened, non-perishable food during the moving process and volunteers to deliver the donations to the local food bank, free of charge.

“Partnering with Move For Hunger brings a constant reminder of people in need,” said Mark Waller, General Manager of A-1 Freeman of Dallas.  “Whether it’s disaster relief in Texas and Florida, or a child’s lunch during the non-school months, working with Move For Hunger allows all our employees to impact the lives of others.  It’s also a good reminder to be grateful for all we have received.”

A-1 Freeman was recognized for their efforts at last week’s Southwest Movers Association conference in San Antonio.

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.
