JACKSONVILLE, FL – Stewart Moving & Storage of Jacksonville has been recognized for delivering 31,000 pounds of food – enough to provide 25,000 meals – to the local food bank, Feeding Northeast Florida.
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, Stewart Moving & Storage 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.
“More than 270,000 people in the greater Jacksonville area are food insecure and, yet, 40% of the food produced in the United States each year is wasted,” said Adam Lowy, Executive Director of Move For Hunger. “Stewart Moving & Storage is working every day to address both issues. We are so grateful for their support.”
“We’re proud to be a part of Move For Hunger,” said Jennifer Zeile, Director of Marketing & Development at Stewart Moving & Storage. “It’s our duty to do all we can to support our neighbors in need.
