As you may be aware, many people throw out a good deal of “stuff” when they move. Unfortunately, a lot of this “stuff” is food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than thrown away. By teaming up with relocation companies across the country, Move For Hunger is creating one of the nation’s largest year-round service programs. Our movers offer to pick up the unwanted, non-perishable food items from those who are moving and deliver it to their local food banks.

Guidelines for Performing Artists and Others Who Want to Make a Difference
A benefit can be as simple as a small donation of a portion of proceeds from a tiny bar gig, to something as ornate as a full-out multi-performer concert with corporate sponsors, extensive publicity, merchandise raffles, etc. In any case, a benefit is a wonderful way to bring new support to a charitable organization, new attention and credibility to an artist, and new magic and meaning to a performance and an artist’s career. These guidelines are primarily intended for up-and-coming artists who want to help out but may not have the resources or audience to do something big, but they also include ways to make an event bigger.

Works to reduce food waste by connecting gardeners to their local food pantries so that excess garden bounty can be shared with those in need.

Garden by garden, home and community gardeners and other growers are fighting hunger and malnutrition in America.
