\nAs members of the Move For Hunger network, Nelson Westerberg and their multiple branches educate their customers about the issues of hunger and food waste and encourage them to donate their unopened, non-perishable food items on moving day. Then their moving crews volunteer to deliver the donations to a local food bank or pantry at no additional cost. Nelson Westerberg also provides Move For Hunger with additional support by organizing food drives and by assisting with transportation for larger food recovery efforts.<\/p>\n

We are slowly gaining traction to make a measured difference, organizing for results, and leading with heart to be go givers,\u201d said Greg Koehlinger, Executive Vice President of Nelson Westerberg.<\/p>\n
