Los Angeles CA, Sept. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NorthStar Moving<\/a>\u00ae Company, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, announced that their eighth annual \u201cLet\u2019s Send Hunger Packing\u201d food drive raised $47,046 for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank<\/a>, providing 188,184 meals to feed hungry children in Los Angeles County.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank Groundwork Coffee<\/a> and Compass Real Estate<\/a> for being outstanding partners in this year\u2019s food drive as well as our entire community,\u201d said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. \u201cIn a year when the need is at its greatest, our team and community truly stepped up, raising the most donations in our eight years of conducting the Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive. We are so grateful to everyone dedicated to making a difference in the lives of hungry children throughout the LA region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the onset of the pandemic, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank has continued to see an increase in demand for food. As of September, there has been a 125% increase in their food distributions.<\/p>\n

\u201cNorthStar Moving has been a long-time partner of the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, and we are so grateful for their generous gift,\u201d said Food Bank President and CEO Michael Flood. \u201cThis gift will be put to work to alleviate hunger during one of the most trying times in LA County\u2019s recent history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so moved by the generosity of our community. Years from now, when I think back to the pandemic, I\u2019ll remember the amazing acts of generosity and kindness in the era of COVID,\u201d said McHolm. \u201cThis proves to me that anyone, with the help of everyone, can make a big difference in someone\u2019s life. Just look at what we did! 188,000 meals! This year, putting food on tables has even more meaning. With many schools teaching remotely, having access to nutritious meals at home is critical. Physical and mental health are truly essential. A hungry child and a stressed parent are not a recipe for success. We must feed children\u2019s minds and bodies so they can focus on their education. Please remember, this is something all of us can do to make a difference in a hungry child\u2019s life; just donate to your local food bank, it\u2019s as easy as a click of a button.\u201d<\/p>\n

In eight years the Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive has raised a total of over 320,000 meals! The 9th annual Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive will kick-off in Spring 2021.<\/p>\n
