Bekins Van Lines has been an official partner of Move For Hunger since 2015. Twenty-nine of their agents are currently members of our network and are collecting non-perishable food items from their customers and generously delivering them to food banks and pantries. Agents of Bekins Van Lines have also volunteered their time and resources to contribute to the success of several food drives.
Bekins agents have delivered more than 270,000 lbs. of food all-time, which has provided 225,000 meals for people struggling with food insecurity in the communities they serve. Let's take a trip down memory lane and look back at some of the incredible things Bekins and their agents have accomplished.
Boerman Moving & Storage and Baird & Warner Real Estate Hold Fill-A-Truck Food Drive
Boerman Moving & Storage and their partners teamed up to hold their fifth annual food drive. The Illinois-based moving company held their food drive at the local supermarket, Jewel-Osco on November 11. On a single day, more than 750 lbs. of non-perishable food was collected, which is enough to provide 625 meals. All of the donations were delivered to West Suburban Community Pantry.
White Glove Moving, Storage & Delivery based in Vero Beach, Florida over the summer helped organize food drive at 45 locations across Florida. Due to the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, non-perishable donations were needed more than ever. Incredibly, 18,000 lbs. of food was donated to the Treasure Coast Food Bank which will provide 15,000 meals for food insecure families in Florida.
Brandon Moving & Storage Collects 2,000 LBS. of Food
Brandon Moving & Storage hosted a Fill-A-Truck food drive at the Price Cutter Food Warehouse in Conway, Arkansas on September 9th. In just a few hours they were able to collect 2,000 pounds of food which is equivalent to 1,650 meals! The food was donated to Community Action Program of Central Arkansas (CAPCA), a nonprofit organization that supplies food pantries in Faulkner, Cleburne, and White Counties.
