Recap: Fighting Hunger at WERC's Global Workforce Symposium The meal kits packed at the event, with the generous support of Atlas and The Paxton Companies, were delivered directly to the Changing Lives Food Pantry at Victory Christian Ministries International in Maryland. Marcia, a staff member at the food pantry, serves with a purpose deeply rooted in personal experience. "Back in Saint Mary’s County, I thought we were going to lose our home," she recalls. "I was working, but it was hard to provide food for my daughters." Supported by her church community during that difficult time, Marcia made a vow: if she could help others, she would never turn them away. Thanks to events like this, the Changing Lives team can serve even more families across the DMV community. "This food isn’t just for us; it’s reaching other pantries in the area," she says gratefully. Thank you, Atlas and Paxton, for making this impact possible.

Move For Hunger mobilizes transportation networks to deliver surplus food to communities in need.
About us
Move For Hunger is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that mobilizes transportation networks to deliver surplus food to communities in need. As you may be aware, many people throw out a good deal of “stuff” when they move. Unfortunately, a lot of this “stuff” is food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than thrown away. That’s where we come in! Move For Hunger teams up with professional moving companies, corporate housing providers, relocation management companies, and multifamily apartment communities across the U.S. & Canada to rescue unopened, non-perishable food items from people moving and deliver it to local food banks. In addition to collecting food from people who are moving to new homes, Move For Hunger helps companies and individuals across the United States and Canada organize thousands of successful food drives and employee engagement events each year. Since its founding in 2009, Move For Hunger has delivered more than 32 million pounds of food - that's 26.5 million meals - to food banks and pantries nationwide.
