MSS Tips-Off Food Drive with a Knockout Tournament!

June 26, 2018

It's always great to see members of our network coming up with new ways to support our fight against hunger. From April 25-May 24, our Partners from Movers Specialty Service, Inc. (MSS) held a unique food drive at their office in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, that brought their team together to help the communities they serve.

What made this food drive a bit different than your typical one was that MSS held a knockout basketball tournament fundraiser to kick-off the event. Office antics were at an all-time high as workers competed against one another to be crowned the ultimate knockout champion. The tournament was clearly a huge hit, as MSS was able to raise $365! All of the proceeds were used to purchase non-perishable food.

When all was said and done, MSS had collected 725 pounds of food, which will provide more than 600 meals for the local food pantry, Manna on Main Street. Donations like this go a long way to help their neighbors in need. More than 77,000 people in Montgomery County are facing hunger each day.

A big thank you goes out to MSS, not only for holding this food drive, but for all of their support over the years! Since 2015, MSS has collected more than 2,750 pounds of food -- that's the equivalent of 2,300 meals!
