Move For Hunger: Mobilizing Food Rescue Across America

In a world where food waste and hunger exist side by side, Move For Hunger steps in as a bridge to connect surplus food with the people who need it most. This inspiring national non-profit mobilizes transportation networks to tackle food insecurity by rescuing surplus food and delivering it to communities in need.

Since its founding in 2009, Move For Hunger has partnered with moving companies, real estate professionals, and relocation networks across the United States and Canada, transforming these industries into champions of food rescue. Their innovative approach leverages existing logistics to reduce food waste and fight hunger, making it easy for individuals and businesses to make a tangible impact.

How Move For Hunger Works
Moving Companies with a Mission: When families or businesses relocate, they often discard non-perishable food items. Move For Hunger partners with moving companies to collect these items and deliver them to local food banks.

Surplus Food Rescue: Collaborating with corporate offices, apartment communities, and events, Move For Hunger ensures that excess food reaches hungry individuals instead of going to waste.

Corporate Engagement: Through food drives, employee engagement programs, and large-scale surplus rescues, companies can join the mission to combat hunger and food waste.

The Impact
To date, Move For Hunger has rescued and delivered over 30 million pounds of food, equating to over 25 million meals for individuals and families facing food insecurity. Their work not only fills empty plates but also raises awareness of the critical issues of hunger and sustainability.
