NorthStar Moving Collects Enough Food to Provide 25,000 Meals
Los Angeles, CA, June 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NorthStar Moving®, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, announced today that it was awarded the California Moving & Storage Association and Move for Hunger 2016 Certificate of Achievement Award for the second consecutive year. The award is given to moving companies that go above and beyond to fight hunger in their greater community.
NorthStar Moving was also recognized by Move for Hunger for collecting enough food to provide over 25,000 life-saving meals to their community, an enormous meal milestone. “NorthStar Moving has been one of our most reliable supporters,” said Move For Hunger’s Executive Director/Founder, Adam Lowy. “From food drives to food rescues, Laura McHolm and her staff have embraced every aspect of the Move For Hunger program. Their commitment to fighting hunger and reducing food waste in Southern California is exemplary.”
Currently, NorthStar Moving is hosting their 5th Annual “Let’s Send Hunger Packing!” food drive in partnership with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, which runs through June 16th. The Let’s Send Hunger Packing food drive feeds hungry children in Los Angeles and Orange County. Donations are now being accepted at 27 Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage offices.
“Move for Hunger is a one-of-a-kind organization and we are proud to be their partner for the past seven years,” said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. “I love that our moving boxes, trucks and our dedicated team are working to make sure everyone has enough to eat. Hunger is all around us and it breaks my heart that children in our own backyards go to bed hungry. The statistics are a wake up call, one out of six children in Orange County and one out of four in Los Angeles County will go to bed hungry tonight. Picture it! Now, picture them having full plates of healthy food every day. I know which image puts a smile on my face. We have a wonderful circle of support from Move for Hunger, our local food banks and Coldwell Banker to continue our hunger relief efforts each and every year. Having such a great team makes donating so simple! I am thrilled to be recognized again this year, but more importantly, I hope the award will encourage everyone to join us and bring in much needed donations for this year’s Let’s Send Hunger Packing food drive!”
