The National Apartment Association Turns Miles Into Meals!

May 2, 2019

Last month, members of the National Apartment Association participated in the 35th Annual Parkway Classic in Alexandria, VA.  The race featured beautiful views of the Potomac and traversed through the charming streets of the city.

Three members of the NAA completed the 10-mile run, while the rest of the team ran, jogged, and strolled through the 5K.  Their youngest participant was only six months old!  All in all, the National Apartment Association raised $2,000 to support our mission to reduce food waste and fight hunger in the United States. 

Amy Allen, the National Apartment Association's Senior Manager of Program Development, said, "We enjoyed the experience and especially hope that our donation to Move For Hunger will contribute in a small way to the important work your group does to support individuals who live with food insecurity.  We hope to do more things like this in the future."

The NAA's headquarters are located in Arlington, VA where more than 16,700 people struggle with food insecurity. Thank you to the National Apartment Association for recognizing the urgency of the problem and turning your miles into meals!

More than 900 multi-family apartment communities are now giving their residents the opportunity to donate their food when they move. Click here to learn more.
