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.

It's done! I ran Berlin marathon's 26.2 miles this past Sunday, and I owe a big "Thank you!" to every donor who helped raise a total of $3,165, nearly 9,500 meals, for #MoveforHunger! I also appreciate words of encouragement from them and many of you. The weather was perfect for the 50th anniversary of the marathon with over 54,000 runners who finished it. The opening ceremony featured several marathon "royalties" including a US Army veteran who ran the first one and was back to do it again. The first several miles went through quiet residential neighborhoods then the cheering crowds swelled as the course wound its way through other parts of Berlin and closer to the finish line. It was an unforgettable experience crossing that line with my daughter who also raised funds for the same charity. Until next time....

Port strike update: The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) tentatively agreed to end the port strike along the U.S. East Coast. This is excellent news for our food supply chain, which faced significant risks due to the strike. Essential goods, including fresh produce and proteins, will soon resume normal transportation. The dockworkers' return to work is a critical step towards ensuring that millions of Americans, especially those most vulnerable to food insecurity, can access affordable and fresh food. Learn more about this story and its development in our updated blog ➡️ https://vist.ly/3mhv9rj
An ongoing strike at key U.S. ports is delaying the transportation of critical goods, including food. If the strike continues, millions of Americans—especially vulnerable communities—could face severe food shortages as fresh and affordable products struggle to reach grocery stores. The longer the disruption lasts, the greater the risk to our food supply chain, making it even more important to understand the connection between port operations and food security.

Mover of the Month Spotlight: We’re excited to recognize Advance Relocation Systems as our September 2024 Mover of the Month! Since partnering with Move For Hunger, they’ve helped transport over +74k lbs of food—equivalent to approximately +62k* meals for families in need. *That’s enough meals to feed the entire crowd at [a local stadium, like M&T Bank Stadium]—and still have some left! This year has been especially impactful for Advance Relocation Systems (an Atlas agent), marking almost 10 years of working with us. One of their most memorable contributions this year was helping move alternative milk products from First Information & Technology Solutions_fruits_farm in Freeland, MD—a special location close to their company president's home. Not only did they support the Freeland community, but they also delivered these donations to Hope Outlet in Baltimore City, extending their reach to those in need. Let’s thank the Advance Relocation Systems team for their dedication, and keep an eye out as they plan to host another food drive this fall!

#ThrowbackThursday to a summer moment we just can’t let go of! Back in June, we had our second meal kit packing event with the team at Lazard! Together, we packed 500 meal kits—enough to feed over 2,000 people. All that nutritious food made its way to Metropolitan Community Church of New York and Gotham Food Pantry , where it’s making a real difference for families in their local communities. Did you know? 1 in 8 U.S. households are food insecure, meaning they don’t have enough resources to buy sufficient food for everyone in their family. Events like this help us tackle this growing crisis. Special shoutout to Lazard for once again welcoming us and rolling up your sleeves to fight hunger!

Thank you to Atlas Agents for your dedication during these challenging times 🧡
Our Atlas Agents are more than just movers; they are pillars of their community, ready to rise to the occasion in times of crisis. Right now, many of our dedicated agents are on the front lines of relief efforts, loading trucks to deliver essential supplies to the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Helene. We are actively sharing the locations of donation collection trucks stationed in the south to support affected families. This list will undoubtedly expand, and we pledge to keep the community informed about our ongoing relief initiatives. Our hearts go out to the families who have suffered so much.
