NorthStar Moving Provides Over 34,000 Meals to Feed Hungry Kids

Sixth Annual Food Drive Assists Local Hungry Children

Los Angeles, CA, Aug. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NorthStar Moving® Company, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, announced today that their sixth annual “Let’s Send Hunger Packing” summer food drive raised food and monetary donations to provide 34,448 meals to feed hungry children in Los Angeles County. Over six years, the drive has raised a total of approximately 61,400 meals.

 

"We are so thankful to NorthStar Moving Company for their years of support to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank by hosting traditional food drives,” said Los Angeles Regional Food Bank President/ CEO Michael Flood. “This year, in addition to gathering food donations, they facilitated a Virtual Food Drive which will provide more than 34,000 needed meals for families and individuals facing food insecurity in our community."

 

One in seven people in Los Angeles County experience food insecurity. Families must make choices each month between paying for food and utilities, transportation, housing or medicine and medical care. The many faces of hunger in the LA community include the most vulnerable such as children and seniors.

 

“Each year when we conduct our Let’s Send Hunger Packing food drive, I am reassured that together as a community, we can make a difference in the lives of our communities’ children,” said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. “We had a fantastic group of individuals and organizations support us this year including Groundwork Coffee. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who helped make it such a success! Please remember you can always donate to your local food bank. Every dollar donated provides enough food for four meals to feed hungry children and families. They always need your assistance and it is as simple as a click of a button!”
