February 18, 2016Arnoff Moving & Storage Partners with Move For Hunger
Arnoff Moving & Storage has committed to fighting hunger in our community, partnering with the national hunger relief organization Move For Hunger, joining in with a force of relocation companies throughout North America to collectively deliver more than 6 million pounds of food to local food banks throughout the USA. When people move, they often throw out a good deal of food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than just left behind. The crews of Arnoff Moving & Storage will now be collecting those food items from their customers and delivering them directly to two local food banks: The Food Pantries for the Capital District and Dutchess Outreach. The service is free to customers and turns every move into an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate, simply by donating cans and non-perishable goods on moving day.
“We are thrilled to have Arnoff Moving & Storage join us in the fight against hunger,” says Adam Lowy, Founder and Executive Director of Move For Hunger. “With such devastating hunger statistics at both the local and national level, their efforts will provide crucial support to the food bank’s mission to feed the hungry.”
“When we realized how many of our neighbors were going hungry, we knew we had to do something,” explains David Feldman, Vice President of Sales at Arnoff Moving and Storage. “Move For Hunger gives us the opportunity to help our community in a meaningful way.”
Move For Hunger is a non-profit organization that mobilizes the relocation industry to fight hunger and reduce food waste by collecting unwanted, unopened food from people who are relocating and deliver it to local food banks.
