TALLAHASSEE, FL– AMWAT Moving, Warehousing & Storage has been recognized by Move For Hunger, a national non-profit organization, for delivering 106,000 pounds of food – enough to provide 88,000 meals – to America’s Second Harvest of the Big Bend.
People tend to throw a lot of “stuff” away when they move, including perfectly good food. As part of Move For Hunger’s national network of relocation professionals, AMWAT provides their customers with the opportunity to donate unopened, non-perishable food during the moving process and volunteers to deliver the donations to the food bank, free of charge. For the past four years, AMWAT has also hosted a Fill-A-Truck food drive to help fight hunger during the summer months. This year’s event was held on May 10 and more than 5,500 lbs. of food was donated.
“AMWAT was one of the founding members of the Move For Hunger network,” said Adam Lowy, Executive Director of Move For Hunger. “They have been helping us fight hunger in Florida for almost 9 years and have never wavered in their support. We are so proud to call them our partners.”
“There is so much food that goes to waste. No one in our country should be going hungry,” said Gloria Pugh of AMWAT Moving, Warehousing & Storage. “We are committed to bringing awareness to the staggering rate of food insecurity in the United States. Most importantly, we want to help fill the gap so families in need have access to food.”
There are more than 850 moving companies in Move For Hunger’s network, but AMWAT Moving, Warehousing & Storage is one of just 17 to have delivered 100,000+ lbs. of food.
Move For Hunger is a non-profit organization that mobilizes the relocation industry to fight hunger and reduce food waste. In addition to collecting food from people who are moving to new homes, Move For Hunger helps companies and individuals across the United States and Canada organize successful food drives. To date, they have collected more than 10 million pounds of food. For more information, or to find out how you can host your own food drive, visit www.MoveForHunger.org.
