The pandemic escalated hunger. The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is serving about 900,000 people each month, which is three times more people than pre-pandemic days, and that includes children. For some children, the only meal they eat is at school. When school is out for the summer, families turn to a food bank for assistance. However, food banks often experience a decline of donations during the summer months.<\/p>\n

“While life is starting to look normal for some, many of our neighbors are still feeling the economic impact caused by the pandemic,” said President and CEO of the LA Regional Food Bank Michael Flood. “Last year, the NorthStar Moving Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing fundraiser raised the equivalent of 185,000+ meals for our neighbors in need, and we are grateful for their support again this year as the need in our community remains high.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic\u2019s negative economic effects will be felt for a long time and, unfortunately, the most vulnerable are children. Without proper nutrition children\u2019s health, growth and development are greatly impacted,\u201d said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. \u201cI think all of us can agree that no child in Los Angeles County should ever go hungry. No child here, in our backyard, should wonder where their next meal is coming from. Our Let\u2019s Send Hunger Food Drive is an easy way for ALL of us to move from awareness to action. To assist our kids in need, we are so pleased to partner with like-minded companies Compass Real Estate and Groundwork Coffee again this year! But, please, we all need you to join us too. When we all work together as a community, we can ensure all of our children are fed. Your gift of $50, $100, $500, $1000, or more to our food drive will help the LA Food Bank put desperately needed food on our children\u2019s tables. Thank you! I also want to express my love, gratitude and thanks to everyone who donated last year, you make me believe we really can send hunger packing!\u201d<\/p>\n

The ninth annual Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive is online<\/a> and in person at Groundwork Coffee cafes. Non-perishable food items can be dropped off at Groundwork Coffee locations across LA county and a portion of sales from their Hibiscus Lemonadeand Summer Seasonal Select Japanese Style Iced Coffee will be donated to the Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive through July 19, 2021. All donations will directly assist the needs of the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Groundwork is always proud to partner with companies that have values aligned with our own,\u201d said Groundwork Coffee COO Evan Dohrmann. \u201cThat’s why we couldn’t be more excited to participate in the ninth annual NorthStar Moving Let’s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive. Access to food should be a right for young Los Angelinos, not a privilege!”<\/p>\n

“We are excited to participate in this annual initiative led by NorthStar Moving and the LA Food Bank for the second consecutive year,” said Gillan Abercrombie Frame, Director of the Estates Division at Compass La Ca\u00f1ada Flintridge. “Giving back is a core mission at Compass. This collective effort directly impacts children in our community and our team is eager to surpass last year’s donations. The LA Food Bank needs our help now to keep up with demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing 2021 Food Drive ends on July 19, 2021. Please make a monetary online donation<\/a> today.
