Congratulations to Ascott Place Apartments, a MAXX Properties, for winning the 2023 Bay Area Apartment Association COTY Award! We’re incredibly proud to recognize Ascott Place Apartments for their commitment to fighting hunger. Through their ongoing support, they’ve provided the equivalent of 475 lbs of food to local families in need—that’s over 395 meals! A special shoutout to Stephanie De La Hoz, our amazing Program Director, who presented this well-deserved award in person!

Port strike update: The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) tentatively agreed to end the port strike along the U.S. East Coast. This is excellent news for our food supply chain, which faced significant risks due to the strike. Essential goods, including fresh produce and proteins, will soon resume normal transportation. The dockworkers' return to work is a critical step towards ensuring that millions of Americans, especially those most vulnerable to food insecurity, can access affordable and fresh food.

Mover of the Month Spotlight: We’re excited to recognize Advance Relocation Systems as our September 2024 Mover of the Month! Since partnering with Move For Hunger, they’ve helped transport over 74k lbs of food—equivalent to approximately 62k* meals for families in need. *That’s enough meals to feed the entire crowd at [a local stadium, like M&T Bank Stadium]—and still have some left! This year has been especially impactful for Advance Relocation Systems (an Atlas agent), marking almost 10 years of working with us. One of their most memorable contributions this year was helping move alternative milk products from First Information & Technology Solutions_fruits_farm in Freeland, MD—a special location close to their company president's home. Not only did they support the Freeland community, but they also delivered these donations to Hope Outlet in Baltimore City, extending their reach to those in need. Let’s thank the Advance Relocation Systems team for their dedication, and keep an eye out as they plan to host another food drive this fall!

#ThrowbackThursday to a summer moment we just can’t let go of! Back in June, we had our second meal kit packing event with the team at Lazard! Together, we packed 500 meal kits—enough to feed over 2,000 people. All that nutritious food made its way to Metropolitan Community Church of New York and Gotham Food Pantry , where it’s making a real difference for families in their local communities. Did you know? 1 in 8 U.S. households are food insecure, meaning they don’t have enough resources to buy sufficient food for everyone in their family. Events like this help us tackle this growing crisis. Special shoutout to Lazard for once again welcoming us and rolling up your sleeves to fight hunger!
