Team Highlight - Two Movers in the Mile High City

It’s no surprise that we’ve got some amazing supporters participating in Team Move For Hunger. While the majority of our Team are one time members, there a few that come back year after year to help us turn miles into meals. This month, we’ve got two dedicated movers participating in the Colfax Marathon, ½ Marathon, Urban 10 Miler and 5K for the fourth and third year in a row!  

Colorado Hi-Tec Moving and Storage, a Wheaton agent, will be gathering a team for the fourth year in a row to walk and run the Colfax 5K. In the past four years, this amazing Team has raised over $3,400 for our efforts to fight hunger and food waste. In addition, Colorado Hi-Tec has helped in large food rescues, delivering 8,300 pounds of food from the Bolder Boulder 10K in 2017. As if that isn’t enough, President Karen Dickens is a member of our Mover Advisory Committee, which helps Move For Hunger grow and expand in the relocation industry. Thanks to their dedication to the cause, Colorado Hi-Tec has delivered over 39,000 pounds of food to food banks in the Denver area – that’s over 33,000 meals for those in need. As one of our longest and most dedicated members, Colorado Hi-Tec has gone above and beyond in the fight against hunger and food waste.

And this year, Colorado Hi-Tec will be joined by Pikes Peak Moving & Storage Company - their first time turning miles into meals! For the third year in a row, Client Services Supervisor John Floyd from American Moving and Storage, a Bekins agent in Broomfield, is also turning his miles into meals at this popular race. Starting with the Urban 10 Miler in 2016, John ran the half marathon in 2017 and this year will be tackling his first FULL marathon at the event. In addition to dedicating himself to the training, John has been persistent in posting his progress on social media. In the last three years, John has raised over $3,800 for our hunger relief and food waste reduction efforts!

Thank you to these two dedicated and amazing members of the Move For Hunger network, your dedication is helping put meals on the table for many!
