From a Food Festival to the Food Bank: Crown Relocations Rescues Nearly 1,000 LBS. of Food

June 19, 2018

Crown Relocations of New York is always ready and willing to help us reduce food waste and fight hunger.

On June 10, Fairway Market hosted their first-ever Food Festival at the Armory Track in upper Manhattan. More than 80 vendors attended the event, which was a bit different than your typical food festival, as large companies like Kellogg’s, Frito-Lay, Clif Bar, and many others all had booths. With a majority of vendors supplying packaged food, this festival was a perfect opportunity for a food rescue to ensure that any leftovers did not go to waste. Our friends from Crown Relocations volunteered their time and resources to rescue nearly 1,000 lbs. of food, which will provide about 825 meals for their neighbors in need.

This food rescue was just a small pickup compared to what Crown Relocations of New York has done since becoming one of the first companies to join Move For Hunger way back in 2010. Through food drives, rescues, and other events, Crown Relocations of New York has worked tirelessly to collect almost 200,000 pounds of food, which has supplied 165,000 meals to those that need it most. Their dedication to the fight against hunger is truly inspiring!

And Crown Relocations isn’t stopping there! On August 4, they will be hosting their First Annual Truck Pull. Teams of five to ten people will pull a moving truck 100 feet, competing to see who can do it the fastest. This truck pull is a unique and exciting way to get involved and raise money to support Move For Hunger.
