National Moving Company Commits to Fight Hunger – Mango Moving Joins Move For Hunger
May 2, 2012
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 2, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Move For Hunger is proud to announce their recent partnership with Mango Moving at the Signature Level. Mango Moving LLC, a Kansas City-based national moving company, has committed to support Move For Hunger’s fight against hunger through a generous financial contribution.
Move For Hunger is a non-profit organization that works with moving companies and other members of the relocation industry to combat the growing hunger problem in the United States. Many people throw out a good deal of “stuff” when they move. Unfortunately, that “stuff” often includes food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than thrown away.
In partnering with Move for Hunger, Mango Moving will provide their customers with services to donate any food items that they won’t be moving instead of disposing of them. Mango will pack and deliver the food directly to Harvesters Community Food Network or a local food bank at no cost to the customer.
“Moving can be a stressful process. The Move for Hunger program gives customers a way to simplify part of the moving and packing process while giving them an opportunity to help families in need,” said Mango Moving COO, Robert Vespa. “We’re proud to be teaming up with such a great organization and a worthy cause.”
“We are so happy to have Mango Moving join the Move For Hunger family for 2012,” said Gavin Christiansen, Director of Operations at Move For Hunger. “Their commitment to ending hunger will help provide life saving meals for the most vulnerable in the Kansas City area.”
About Move For Hunger:
Move For Hunger is a non-profit organization that works with relocation companies across the country to pick up unwanted, unopened food from those who are moving and deliver it to local food banks across the country. To date, Move For Hunger is working with over 250 movers in 40 states and has collected more than 420,000 pounds of food.
