Month-Long November Move for Hunger Drive at Charlestown

A month-long November food drive to support Move For Hunger, a non-profit organization that works with relocation companies across North America to pick up unwanted, unopened food and deliver it to local food banks, is now underway at Charlestown retirement community in Catonsville, MD, and Let’s Move in Fulton, MD.

More than 773,200 people in Maryland live on incomes that put them at risk of hunger. Thirty-four percent of those in need are children.

To address this immediate need, Let’s Move and Charlestown are collecting non-perishable food items to aid those in need. While all donations are welcome, suggested food items include soup, rice, peanut butter, pasta sauce, canned fruits and vegetables, baby food, and cookies.

The public can drop off food at Charlestown, 715, Maiden Choice Lane in Catonsville, and at Let’s Move, 11830 West Market Place (suite C), in Fulton. All donations will be delivered to the local Maryland Food Bank courtesy of Movers USA, Inc.

The National Association of Senior Move Managers is leading this nationwide food drive to benefit families and individuals who are struggling to find their next meal.

Move for Hunger is working with more than 600 movers in 47 states and has collected more than 3,500,000 pounds of food to-date. For more information or to help support Move for Hunger, visit www.MoveForHunger.org.
