Recent data revealed a growing hunger crisis<\/u><\/a> in Los Angeles County. The online food drive is a simple way to raise the much needed funds to provide meals to children this summer. <\/p>\n

According to a recent survey conducted by the USC Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research, nearly 37% of low-income families in greater Los Angeles experienced food insecurity in 2022. Due to the U.S. government\u2019s recent cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) many families are struggling to put food on the table. In Los Angeles County, where the cost of living is high, hunger rates are near peak pandemic levels.<\/p>\n

In response, NorthStar Moving has once again teamed up with Compass Real Estate <\/u><\/a>to raise much needed funds for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank<\/u><\/a> in order to feed hungry children in LA County. \u201cLast year our food drive was named Top Fundraiser of the Year by the LA Regional Food Bank. Our goal is to break that record this year,\u201d said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. \u201cWe believe we can, thanks to the help of our incredible partner, Compass Real Estate, and, of course, all of you. The need is extremely real and heartbreaking. It\u2019s unfathomable that one in four children right here in LA County will go to bed hungry tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Without proper nutrition children\u2019s health, growth and development are greatly impacted. In California, 2 million children live in low-income households affected by hunger. For some children the only meal they receive 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

“We’re grateful for the ongoing partnership with NorthStar Moving Company and Compass Real Estate as they launch the 11th Annual Let’s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive,” said LA Regional Food Bank President and CEO Michael Flood. “Together, we’re addressing child hunger in LA County. With their support and community generosity, we can make a profound impact. Thank you to NorthStar Moving Company and Compass Real Estate for standing with us in the fight against hunger.”<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Let\u2019s Send Hunger Food Drive is an easy way to move awareness into action, to assist our kids in need,\u201d said McHolm. \u201cPlease join us to help the LA Food Bank put desperately needed food on our children\u2019s tables.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 11th Annual Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive is completely online and runs through July 31, 2023. Please make a monetary online donation today HERE<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

All donations will directly assist the needs of our hero: the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
