CORT joined Move For Hunger in 2017 and has since transported nearly 270,000 lbs of food donations, equaling almost 225,000 meals, to food insecure communities across the United States. Their partnership and financial contributions to Move For Hunger have provided over 800,000 meals to those in need. CORT works closely with Move For Hunger by transporting food donations from most of the 2,700 apartment communities across the country that are part of Move For Hunger\u2019s vast multi-family network.<\/p>\n
\u201cFood insecurity is a major problem in the U.S., even more so now after the past two years of a global pandemic. It touches every community CORT serves,\u201d said Lisa Woodworth, Senior Vice President of Marketing at CORT. \u201cWhat better way to give back locally than to support this initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur employees are already in the multifamily housing property communities regularly, it just made sense for us to partner together and help get the food left behind when a resident moves out to the local food banks,\u201d Woodworth continues. \u201cFocusing on this has helped build stronger relationships in our communities, and we have helped make a real difference for those in need. It is inspiring to see the energy and excitement our employees have when they hold a food drive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since its inception in 2009, Move For Hunger has provided over 27 million pounds of food, equaling nearly 23 million meals, to food pantries across the United States. Move For Hunger now has a network of more than 2,700 multifamily apartment communities, all helping to fight to end hunger by collecting food items and delivering them to local food banks in the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n
\u201cCORT is one of our largest supporters,\u201d said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more thankful for their dedication to the fight against hunger, and we\u2019re so excited to see what this year of partnership brings to food insecure communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
