HOW HUNGER AFFECTS YOUR COMMUNITIES
Move For Hunger's Bulk Recovery program aims to ‘squash’ hunger and reduce food waste by leveraging transportation partners to deliver surplus fresh food from farms and other sources to communities in need. Launched in 2021, the program has developed innovative transportation and cold storage solutions to assist unique partners across the country. By ‘sprouting’ partnerships with organizations like gleaning groups, farmer's markets, and marathons, the program rescues bulk surplus food and organizes its transportation.
If you’re looking to donate food in bulk or need assistance picking up bulk products, please connect with us!

Move For Hunger has been an incredible partner in serving food insecure people across the country! Together we have shared 389,975 lbs. of fresh, beautiful produce that would otherwise have gone to waste with our food insecure neighbors so far this year.
None of this would have been possible without Move for Hunger's dedication to help feed hungry people. We are grateful for this partnership and the difference it is making in the lives of people around us! Thank you!
