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 Slater Transfer & Storage has been named our Mover of the Month for November 2019!
Slater Transfer & Storage has been a valued partner of Move For Hunger since 2012. All three Slater locations in the southwest are members of our network and together they have provided more than 37,000 meals for their neighbors in need.
The 11th annual Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon was held on November 16-17. More than 3,000 runners shut down the Las Vegas strip to participate in this unique, evening race. Competitors are these events are always provided with food and water to help them refuel after crossing the finish line. Inevitably, there will always be more snacks and water than can be distributed that will end up discarded.
Move For Hunger had to act and since 2014, has been working with our network of moving partners to rescue more than 1.1 million lbs. of food and beverages from races around the country. The best part about having a network of nearly 1,000 moving companies is that there is usually someone willing to step up and help!
This time, Slater Transfer & Storage of Las Vegas answered the call, sending a truck to the site and collecting almost 45,000 lbs. of food, which they promptly delivered to Three Square Food Bank, providing more than 37,000 meals to food insecure residents of Clark County, NV.
There are more than 272,000 food insecure people in Clark County, including 1 in 8 children. Three Square, a Feeding America affiliate, serves four Southern Nevada counties: Clark, Nye, Lincoln, and Esmeralda. Three Square sources food, raise funds, and with their network of volunteers, supply program partners with food and services needed to distribute food directly to residents of these counties. Donations like the one that Slater Transfer & Storage facilitated go a long way to help Three Square help so many in their service area!
“Our team really appreciates the opportunity to provide this service. Anytime we are able to help our neighbors in need, our hearts are filled with great compassion," said Tierra Smith, Vice President of Operations. "We have developed a deeper understanding about hunger in our community and we are appreciative of our customers, who have given so generously to the cause.”
She added, “Slater Transfer & Storage is grateful to be part of the Move For Hunger network. It’s a great way to give a little something back to our community.”
