A message from theExecutive directorDear Friends,2021 was another really challenging year. As I write this letter, it’s been more than 6 months since our entire team hasbeen together, in person - which is something we’ve only done once in the past 2 years. For those of you who knowme well, you know that I thrive on social interactions and the energy that exists by being in the room with passionateand creative individuals. While the passion and creativity are certainly still there, we are still finding our way in this newremote world - hoping desperately that it will soon be safe again to share space with our colleagues, partners, andincredible supporters. Vaccinated, boosted, and having led a partner event in the fall, I’m beginning to feel optimistic.If 2020 was a year of survival, 2021 was a year of rebuilding. We restructured our team, and I am proud to say we arenow firing on all cylinders! Through the generous support of many partners, foundations, and donors, we’ve expandedour programs to help meet the growing need. We launched a fresh food recovery program, which helped recover anddeliver more than 703,500 lbs of fresh produce to food banks and pantries across the nation. We grew our educationalcontent and workshops to help more people empathize with those struggling with food insecurity. Our MultifamilyProgram nearly tripled in size, engaging more than 600,000 apartment units around the issues of hunger and foodwaste. We created more virtual team building opportunities to meet the new, remote workforce where they are - athome - while finding unique ways to engage the communities they serve. We also looked inward, participating in ourfirst Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training as an organization, which is something we will continue in 2022.Today, 42 million Americans, and 1 in 8 Canadians, struggle with hunger. Year over year, I provide the most current foodinsecurity statistics, and, unfortunately, this number has skyrocketed since the pandemic began. As big as this numberis, we must remember that it is just that - a number. There are real people behind this growing figure: friends, neighbors,children, working moms, veterans, seniors, LGBTQ youth, the African American community (which experiences hungerat twice the rate as their white, non-Latino counterparts). At its core, hunger is a symptom of poverty, and Move ForHunger is one part of a very complex solution.Equally important to the issue of food insecurity is the issue of food waste - which we are also tackling in major ways.35% of the food produced in the US goes unsold or uneaten - with the average American family of four wasting 1,500 worth of food each year. Reducing food waste is no easy feat, and Move For Hungeris working to approach it at the source. In 2022 we’ll be providing more transportation andcold storage refrigeration resources to farms across the nation. Cold storage solutions willexpand farm yields and extend the life of fresh produce - allowing more time to transport itto food banks before it spoils. New partnerships with freight and logistics companies arealso increasing our capacity to recover even more food before it goes to waste.We survived. We rebuilt. And in 2022, we will grow. The need has never beengreater, and we are working harder than ever to deliver more food to those whoneed it most. There will be even more opportunities for YOU to take action in theyear ahead. So please make sure you follow us on social media and check out thewebsite for updates!Thank you so much for continuing to support us through these challenging times.It means the world to us. Here’s to a healthy and impactful 2022!Sincerely,Move For Hunger's Adam Lowyand Kara D'Antoni attendedAVE King of Prussia's HolidaySpirit of Giving Food Drive inDecember.Adam Lowy, Founder & Executive Director4

However, to this day, inequalitybased on sex permeates the societal and hierarchicalstructure of America. Due to the lasting historic imprint leftby the lack of women's rights, deep-routed gender norms,and human-made conflict, women experience hunger at adisproportionate rate worldwide.Source: Feeding AmericaHunger is a Racial Inequity IssueWith the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in2020, the spotlight has been put back on racial injustice inthe Black community. Throughout history, people of colorin the United States have experienced discrimination andmaltreatment when it comes to education, employment,housing, healthcare, and mass incarceration, among others.It is through these and other systems that structural racismis maintained as a result of historical actions that continueto be felt today. Because of this, the Black community hasdealt with poverty and food insecurity at two times the rateof the overall population of the United States.There are a variety of factors at play that make foodinsecurity such a serious issue in the Black community.FOOD INSECURITY RATE IN THE U.S.1 IN 8AMERICANS AREFOOD INSECURE1 IN 4NATIVE AMERICANSARE FOOD INSECURELGBTQ individualsreceive SNAP benefits attwice the rateof non-LGBTQ people.Native Americans and HungerHistorically, Native Americans have been far more likely toexperience food insecurity than White Americans, BlackAmericans, or Hispanic Americans. About one in fourNative Americans experiences food insecurity, comparedto 1 in 8 Americans overall. Native American families are400% more likely to report being food insecure, with limitedaccess to sufficient, affordable food.There are a total of 28 counties in the United States wherethe majority of the population is Native American, and18 of those counties are considered high food insecuritycounties. A large portion of this stems from above-averageunemployment and poverty among tribal communities.In Canada, food insecurity is even worse for their indigenouspopulation. When living off-reserve, One in three membersof the First Nation suffer from food insecurity – more thanthree times the overall population. For people that liveon-reserve, 54% of people are food insecure.Source: Center for American ProgressFood Insecurity in the LBGTQ CommunityLGBTQ individuals around the world have been oppressedfor generations, simply because of who they love or howthey express themselves. It is undeniable that the modernworld has become far more accepting of the communityand its members, but celebratory pride parades andrainbow flags don’t change the fact that LGBTQ Americansare still facing so many obstacles, including an increasedrisk of experiencing hunger and homelessness.The situation is even more dire for the transgendercommunity where according to the most recent U.S.Transgender Survey (USTS), almost a third of thetransgender population (29%) was living in poverty. Thisis compared to 12% of the general population. In addition,30% of respondents reported being homeless at one pointin their lifetime.5
Sustainability and Food wasteAt Move For Hunger, we believe that to end hunger, we don’t need to produce more food, we just need to get food inthe hands of people that need it the most. Case and point -- according to ReFed, 35% of all food produced in the UnitedStates goes unsold or uneaten. That’s 408 billion worth of food or another way to put it, 2% of the U.S. Gross DomesticProduct (GDP). Only a portion of that food gets donated or recycled meaning 108 billion pounds of food ends up inlandfills.The worth of food in the US thatis unsold or uneaten.35%Percentage of food produced inthe US goes to waste. 408billion108billionPounds of food that ends up inlandfills in the United States.If we were to recover about half of that food, we could feed every hungry person in the United States 3 meals a day, every day.Not only is the food going to waste, but it’s also one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions at 4%,and takes up the most space in landfills. The Environmental Protection Agency points out that when organic materialgets buried in the dump, it decomposes anaerobically and releases methane, a greenhouse gas 25x more harmful thancarbon dioxide. A report from the United Kingdom’s Food Waste Recycling Action Plan (WRAP) says that if food scrapswere eliminated from landfills, the corresponding reduction in greenhouse gas emissions would be the equivalent ofremoving 20% of all the cars in the country from the road. In Canada, it’s estimated about 20-30% of all food produced inthe country goes to waste.So, what can we all do to help? Stop wasting food at home. 43% of all food waste occurs at home. Some simple stepsinclude: only purchase what you need, use apps like AllRecipes to get recipes with ingredients you already have, buy foodin resealable containers or store it in specific ways to have it last longer.If all else fails, donate your food! We make it easy to set up a food drive or to find a food bank where you can donate yourfood. We already have all the tools (and food) we need to end hunger. We just need to commit to ending the problem thatneeds to be solved.

They participatedin a gleaning activity at America’sGrow-A-Row in New Jersey.During November, Wayne Moving & Storagetook their team out gleaning to rescueapples. This is an annual event for the mover,and they helped rescue over 600 pounds ofapples.6
Fresh innovationThis past year, Move For Hunger expanded its scope to launch a new initiative into fresh and perishable food. It kicked offin the summer, continued through the end of the year with large transports, and forged new partnerships coast to coast.Projects included working with Farmlink in California to deliver fresh produce to the Hollywood Food Coalition, workingwith Last Mile Food Rescue in Cincinnati to transport food to the Freestore Food Bank, partnering with America’s GrowA-Row in New Jersey to move fresh food picked by volunteers to a variety of food banks to the local area, and much,much more.Access to fresh food is so important because many of those who are food insecure don’t have a local grocery store,which can classify the area as a food desert. People residing in rural areas and urban communities with a large minoritypopulation have a higher likelihood of living in a food desert. Since fresh, healthy food can be very hard to come by, theresidents often rely on cheaper food which is normally not as nutritious and can lead to a variety of health problems.The Fresh Food Program has made an immediate impact on local communities through Move For Hunger. In total thisyear, the new initiative transported more than 703,500 pounds of food. On top of that, much of the year was focusedon building new relationships that will continue to grow into a fruitful 2022 with several key projects already underway- including cold storage solutions which will allow produce and seafood to be stored and distributed before they perish.Partnering with America's Grow-A-Row thisyear, Lowy's Moving Services made regularweekly trips to the farm, loaded up withmultiple pallets of farm fresh gleaned food,and delivered a total of 33,000 pounds tomultiple hunger relief agencies in the area.Hering Farm in North Carolina donated 50acres of land to grow sweet potatoes forThe Food Bank of Central and Eastern NorthCarolina. When the land produced a bumpercrop, Move For Hunger enlisted the help ofcompanies like TQL to transport 96,936 poundsof potatoes from the farm to the food bank.When Farmlink identified an opportunity totransport fresh produce to the Hollywood FoodCoalition in Los Angeles, the REAL Rock'n'RollMovers, in the middle of an exceptionally busyseason, made time to make several transportshappen. They transported celery, watermelon,tomatoes, cantaloupe, zucchini, and more.Star International Movers responded to ourcall in October when the Northern VirginiaFood Rescue had an opportunity to rescue2,460 pounds of apples for hunger relief.These apples were distributed to those inneed in the community.In preparation for Thanksgiving, Move ForHunger coordinated with the ASAP Moversteam in San Luis Obispo, CA assisting theFood Bank Coalition of San Luis ObispoCounty with eight deliveries over three weeks,transporting almost 9,000 pounds of turkeysto agencies for distribution.When New York City's Vegandale Festivalhad fresh food left over from their event inSeptember, we coordinated with DumboMoving to bring this nutritious food to a localBrooklyn church who had volunteers, tables,and hungry community residents ready togratefully receive it.7
