Together We Raised Over Four Tons of Food to Feed Hungry Kids!

I am so proud to announce that our second annual food drive competition to assist feeding the rising number of hungry children in LA and Orange Counties was a huge success! Together with our team at NorthStar Moving and the amazing team at Coldwell Banker we raised 8,109 lbs. of food which is more than 3,500 pounds than last year and means this year we raised 6,487 meals! I am beyond thrilled that we surpassed our donations from last year and I know we can continue on this upward climb to send hunger packing.

As mentioned in previous posts, Coldwell Banker offices in LA County and Orange County have been competing for two months to collect the most food donations for their local food bank. Well, we tallied the collected food from each office and I am very pleased to announce the winners. Drum roll please….The second annual “Food Donation Heroes” that collected the most food in their county are Beverly Hills South for Los Angeles County and Mission Viejo for Orange County. NorthStar Moving offered each of the winning offices with their choice of either: lunch for the entire staff or a $1000.00 donation to the food bank in their name as their award. Both offices generously chose to donate the $1000.00 to their food bank.

My team at NorthStar Moving also awarded Kimberly Kingsbury of Coldwell Banker Concierge with the “Super Volunteer” award for making this food drive partnership possible, as well as for her dedication, enthusiasm and tireless work to collect donations to feed hungry kids.

As you can imagine with over 4 tons of food, we had our moving trucks full of food, it was quite a sight! We delivered all of the food donated in Los Angeles County to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and all of the food donated in Orange County to Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County

Thank you to all of the communities that came together to help us collect food and make a difference. But, just because this summer’s food drive is over, doesn’t mean you can’t go online and donate directly to your local food bank. Together, we will send Hunger Packing all year long!
