Help Us Fight Hunger Across America

As the seasons turn here on the East Coast and kids are back to school, we know the holidays are right around the corner.  For many in America, the holidays are another painful reminder of the hunger they live with each day. Currently 17 million children go to bed hungry each night. YOU can do something about it! Move For Hunger makes it easy to make a big difference in your community and there is no better time than now to get involved.

Each year Move For Hunger organizes hundreds of food drives across the country. We will send you boxes, create fliers, and even send a moving truck to deliver all the donations to your local food bank. Food drives are great team building activities for employees, schools, sports teams, college organizations, clubs, or corporate offices, and they provide crucial support to food banks all over the country. Contact Dan@moveforhunger.org today about holding a food drive in your community!

Plan on sending out holiday cards this year? Spread your good wishes while fighting hunger. This year Move For Hunger is launching a holiday card program to give supporters the opportunity to do just that. Express your thanks to your valued customers, associates, friends and family all while supporting hunger relief in North America. 20% of your order will go directly to Move For Hunger.

Are you a runner or walker? Turn your miles into meals this fall by joining TEAM Move For Hunger.

To date, Move For Hunger has delivered over 3,700,000 million pounds of food to food banks across the country, that's over 3,000,000 meals directly to those in need. But we didn't and can't do it alone. Join us today in helping to fight hunger in the community you live.

The end of the school year for many means summer vacation, beaches, and fun. For those less fortunate however the summer months can mean reduced access to food. Currently there are more than 16 million children (nearly one in five children in America) that struggle with hunger. Federal nutrition programs offer students free or reduced-price lunches during the school year. According to the Food Research and Action Center, more than 20 million children receive a free or reduced-price school lunch on an average school day. For many students, these are the only meals they receive during the day. When school is not in session, the meals they relied on are no longer provided. Hunger doesn't take a summer vacation. 

The summer is also when most moves occur. Working with over 600 relocation companies across North America, the Move For Hunger network has a vital opportunity to deliver additional food to the shelves of the food banks during these months. The movers in the Move For Hunger network bring food donations directly to the food bank, saving the food banks on transportation and delivery costs.

We are honored to be a part of the Global Giving Match Day on July 16th. It's a wonderful opportunity to show your support and help us to make a real impact on hunger in America. Starting at 9 am on Wednesday, July 16th, GlobalGiving will match donations to our organization by 50% until the $130,000 available in matching funds run out. That means that if you give $100, we will get an additional $50 from GlobalGiving!

We are looking for partners in the fight against hunger. Won't you join us?
