Crown Moving & Storage Holds a Thanksgiving Food Drive!

November 15, 2018

Crown Moving & Storage, a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent, has been a long time partner of ours and they have done a lot of amazing work in the Indianapolis community. This year, they felt it was imperative to hold a food drive and lend a helping hand to the families in their community.

They also recruited several local businesses to assist with the effort. The Wheaton/Bekins corporate office, New York Life, and VMS Biomarketing all held food drives, as well! 

When all was said and done, more than 3,000 lbs. of stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, canned vegetables, instant potatoes, pie filling, and other non-perishable food had been collected, which is enough to provide 2,500 meals! Crown Moving & Storage personally delivered all of the donations to St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry.

Crown Moving & Storage was one of the first companies to join our network back in 2009. Over the past 9+ years, they have delivered more than 9,300 lbs. of food - that's the equivalent to 7,700 meals.

910,000 people in Indiana face hunger every day, including 1 in 6 children. We'd like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Crown Moving & Storage, and to everyone at Wheaton/Bekins, New York Life, and VMS Biomarketing for helping set the table for families in your community!
