It’s hard to believe how quickly 2024 has passed. Our 15th anniversary year inspired me to reflect on how far we’ve come since the early days of Move For Hunger. In our very first year (2009), we delivered just shy of 25,000 lbs of food to eight different food banks. That was the pilot, our proof of concept, so to speak. In 2024, we delivered more than 15 million pounds of food to 494 food banks and pantries across the US & Canada. This is almost 50% more impact than what we did just one year earlier in 2023.
Impact like this doesn’t happen by accident, and it certainly doesn’t happen overnight. It takes an incredible team, amazing board members, countless interns & volunteers, and thousands of industry professionals donating their time and resources to bring Move For Hunger’s vision to life.
Gratefully, 2024 was filled with highlights and milestones. We launched our Charity Freight Network and are quickly seeing more freight and logistics partners join us in our fight against hunger and food waste. We responded quickly, and meaningfully, to the hurricanes in Florida & the Carolinas - delivering more than 800,000 lbs of aid to the affected regions. We organized team-building events with big brands, including Pinterest, KPMG, & HelloFresh. And we capped off the year with an appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show! (Fun fact: She’s even cooler in real life than she is on TV!)
While reflecting on our accomplishments over the past 15 years has been fun, it’s now a new year, and our mission to fight hunger and food waste continues. None of our success or impact is possible without people like YOU. Whether you’ve shared our content on social media, organized a food drive, became a monthly donor, ran a race for Team Move For Hunger, or volunteered your time to help us recover food - we are grateful for you!
Your support fuels our mission. Thank you for continuing to be a champion of our cause. Let’s work together to feed even more families in 2025!
