Giving Outside the Box

Help fight hunger with every sale you close.

When they move, your clients are almost always trying to ditch a few things to lighten the load. Help them do just that by hooking them up with Move For Hunger, a non-profit that helps people donate food and other perishables when they move.

Nearly 50 million Americans—1 in 6—face hunger every day. The Food Research and Action Center reports that hungry children are two to four times more likely to develop health problems, ranging from relatively minor to potentially fatal, while hunger shortens life spans in adults and makes them more prone to mental illness and deadly diseases.

The Council is partnering with Move For Hunger next year to help combat hunger and reduce food waste in our communities. The company connects people who are moving with movers who are able to pick up food they don’t want to move with them and donate it to local food pantries across the U.S.

To date, they have collected more than 7 million pounds of food.

Look for more information about how you can help Move For Hunger’s campaign from CRS this month and at Sell-a-bration® this February in Phoenix.
