NorthStar Moving and Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Partner for Fifth Annual Food Drive to Feed Hungry Kids

June 1, 2017

“In the summer, local food banks struggle to keep shelves stocked,” said Move for Hunger Founder and Executive Director Adam Lowy. “Families with children who receive free or reduced-cost breakfast and lunch at school now need to find a way to replace those meals during the summer.
