The fifth annual “Let’s Send Hunger Packing!” food drive kicked off this week as Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and NorthStar Moving® Company partnered to feed needy children in Los Angeles and Orange County.“NorthStar Moving has been a loyal partner through our Coldwell Banker Concierge® program over the years and we’re thrilled to continue the partnership as we give back to our local communities,” said Robert Foster, president of the greater Los Angeles region of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.
“People throw out lots of unused food, especially when they move.” said Lowy, “And they are happy to give away unused food—if it’s hassle-free. On the flip side, lots of people are hungry—far too many, in fact. This was crazy to me: In Monmouth County, our home area in New Jersey, 56,000 in fact. So Move For Hunger was created to bridge this gap.”Since MFH’s launch in 2009, the growing nonprofit has, through its partnerships with 750 movers in the US and Canada, delivered 8 million pounds of unused food to food banks. The unused food is picked up from homes, businesses, apartment communities and at colleges and universities. And now, from road races.
