NorthStar Moving Rescues Surplus Food from LA Marathon, Delivering to Los Angeles Food Bank
Los Angeles, CA, March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For the eighth year, NorthStar Moving® Company, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, has partnered with Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, to ensure surplus food and water from the 40th Los Angeles Marathon, presented by ASICS, didn’t go to waste. As part of their ongoing commitment to fighting hunger, NorthStar Moving picked up and delivered 686 pounds of leftover food from the marathon to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, helping to nourish local families in need.
“We are honored to put our logistics expertise to work for such an important cause,” said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. “By rescuing these nutritious snacks and beverages, we ensure they reach the people who need them most.
