Collecting food not only helps feed the 34 million people struggling with food insecurity, but also lowers the carbon footprint. In 2022, they removed 1,156 metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
“I am beyond grateful to my incredible team that finds ways to do the impossible,” stated Adam Lowy, founder of Move For Hunger. “Distributing 5.4 million pounds of food to food banks across the nation is no easy task, yet my team continues to make it happen.”
To help achieve these numbers, they expanded their partnerships to include 1,150 moving companies, hosted 900 food drives, and organized over 25 team building events with some of the nation’s leading corporations. Their relationships with 2,000+ properties also helped to provide nearly 135,000 meals to communities in need.
“This was our first full year of recovering fresh food,” noted Lowy. “In 2022, we were able to provide over 1.8 million pounds of fresh food for those in need.”
