Food Drive Provides Over 779,000 Meals Since Its Inception
NorthStar Moving® Company, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, announced the completion of their 12th Annual Let’s Send Hunger Packing food drive, raising crucial funds to support hungry children in Los Angeles County—the U.S. county with the highest number of food-insecure children.
Partnering once again with Compass Real Estate, the virtual food drive generated donations for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. These contributions provided over 37,000 meals to local children and families in need, addressing the critical gap in nourishment during the summer months when school-provided meals are unavailable.
“Thanks to the generosity of our partners and friends we were able to make kids’ lives in our community a little easier this summer,” said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. “Since we first launched Let’s Send Hunger Packing, we’ve provided over 779,000 meals to families in need. Look what we can all do, when we come together. Together, we can lift up our neighbors and nourish all the hungry kids in our own backyard.”
Los Angeles County continues to struggle with food insecurity, especially in the face of rising inflation, with food banks experiencing increased demand but fewer donations in summer months. The 2024 Let’s Send Hunger Packing drive helped the LA Regional Food Bank manage this rising demand.
“Partnerships are essential in the fight against hunger, and we thank NorthStar Moving and Compass Real Estate for their ongoing commitment to helping our neighbors receive food and nutrition assistance,” said Los Angeles Regional Food Bank President and CEO Michael Flood. “The generosity shown through this initiative highlights the power of collective action to address the ongoing challenge of food insecurity in Los Angeles County.”
While the 2024 Let’s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive has concluded, the need continues, and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is accepting donations year-round to support children and families across the county.
