'Essentially, we're bringing a food drive into people's living rooms every day,' said founder Adam Lowy.

Since then, Move for Hunger has only grown. When it started, Lowy just used his family's company to connect with moving families, but now, the organization has established a network of over 1,000 moving companies across the United States and Canada.

Move for Hunger provides boxes and information to people moving out of their homes so that food ends up at local food banks."You can simply put aside your nonprofit donations, and then we make sure that food gets picked up and delivered to a local food bank in the community," Lowy said. In addition to picking up food from moving families, Move for Hunger also coordinates large-scale food drives that aim to collect items that food banks really need while also having some fun.

"They're meant to be fun, but they're also meant to be strategic," said Lowy."So whether it be our 'Spread the Love' food drive, because peanut butter is one of the most requested items. shelf stable, high in protein, food banks need it, and it's a really expensive product. Or maybe our Shark Week food drive, we're collecting canned tuna fish because kids like tuna just as much as sharks do.
