<\/em><\/p>\nDue to the current pandemic and economic crisis, many families have been left struggling to put food on the table and are turning to food banks in record numbers. The Move For Hunger and AVE collaboration will help food banks across the country meet this unprecedented demand.<\/p>\n
People throw away a lot of things when they move, including food \u2013 food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than just left behind. With this simple observation, Move For Hunger was born. In 2009, the organization started building a network among relocation professionals to collect those food items and deliver them to food banks across the country.<\/p>\n
The network has grown to include more than 1,000 moving companies, many of the world\u2019s leading corporate housing providers, relocation management companies, and more than 1,500 multi-family apartment communities. To date, Move For Hunger\u2019s network has collected and delivered more than 19 million pounds of food \u2013 providing 16 million meals.<\/p>\n
As a partner of Move For Hunger, residents at all 14 AVE properties located in the Greater Philadelphia Area, New Jersey, and the East Bay of California have the opportunity to donate their unopened, non-perishable food items rather than throw them away when they move out. The service is free to residents and offers a simple way to give back to the community.<\/p>\n
AVE also organizes food drives regularly which helps educate their residents about the issues of hunger and food waste. Since joining in 2015, AVE has collected nearly 29,000 pounds of food \u2013 providing more than 23,500 meals to those facing hunger.<\/p>\n
\u201cAVE has been a tremendous ally in our fight to reduce hunger in our communities,\u201d said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. \u201cWith food insecurity levels rising every day, we have a lot of work ahead of us. AVE remains committed to taking action to help ensure we get food to those who are in great need.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe AVE team is so proud of our long-term partnership with Move For Hunger,\u201d said Lea Anne Welsh, COO of Korman Communities and President of AVE. \u201cBoth of our organizations share a passion for taking care of our communities. Now more than ever, we remain committed to our friends at Move For Hunger to fight hunger and reduce food waste.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before the pandemic, 37 million Americans struggled with hunger, with estimates showing that number could increase by 46% \u2013 17 million more people this year \u2013 it has never been more important to come together to help those facing hunger. AVE\u2019s support allows the Move For Hunger network to continue being a lifeline to their food bank and food pantry partners across the country.<\/p>\n
