Five Star staff member collects food for the needy

Five Star Moving, a Stevens agent in Sparks, Nev., recently participated in one of largest nationwide food drives – the National Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Drive.

Through its partnership with Move For Hunger, Five Star was able to assist the Food Bank of Northern Nevada to collect more than 2,400 pounds of food from just one post office location. The food collected at that site equates to nearly 1,850 meals for those in need.

Five Star was among movers from across the nation that assisted in delivering food during the letter carriers drive.

Move For Hunger is a non-profit organization that works with the relocation industry to pick up unwanted, unopened food from those who are relocating and deliver it to food banks across the country. More than 330 movers like Five Star partner with Five Star. The program currently operates in 42 states.
