This past June, two Windsor Communities in Massachusetts had a fantastic kick-off to summer as they hosted exciting events for their residents and fought hunger at the same time! Windsor at Cambridge Park hosted a summer barbeque for their residents, while Windsor at Oak Grove held a pool party for 100+ residents. Both properties encouraged people to come out and support their new partnership with Move For Hunger.
What made these summer kick-off events special was that each Windsor Community tied a food drive into the event, motivating residents to bring non-perishable food items that could later be donated to The Greater Boston Food Bank. It's great to see apartment communities like this tie the fight against hunger into events that they host. Not only did Windsor Communities collect donations for the food bank, but they also helped spread the word about hunger within the local community through their initiative.
A huge thank you goes out to Windsor Communities for hosting these events, and to our friends at Gentle Giant Moving Company, who picked up and delivered the donations to The Greater Boston Food Bank. Nearly 200 pounds of food were collected in total, which will provide 160 meals for their neighbors in need! Donations like this go a long way in the Boston area, where 1 in 11 people struggle with food insecurity on a daily basis.
People throw out a lot of "stuff" when they move, and unfortunately, a lot of that "stuff" is perfectly good food that could be given to families in need. Move For Hunger is teaming up with apartment communities all across the nation to ensure that every resident has the opportunity to donate food when they move.
