Move For Hunger is a dynamic national nonprofit organization dedicated to leveraging transportation networks to redirect excess food to communities that need it most. Working entirely in a remote environment, we foster a vibrant culture filled with diverse, passionate, and growth-oriented professionals who collaborate creatively to combat hunger and food waste across the United States. Our team is fun, innovative, goal-oriented, and resolutely committed to ensuring that more meals reach those in need.

Since our inception in 2009, we have partnered with over 1,200 moving companies nationwide to motivate their customers to donate surplus food during their relocations. Recently, we have experienced significant growth in the relocation and multifamily apartment sectors, with more than 600,000 apartment units choosing to work with us. Beyond food rescue during move-outs, Move For Hunger organizes numerous food drives, fundraisers, and employee engagement events. We’ve also broadened our scope to collaborate with farmers, distributors, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, and logistics firms to enhance large-scale food donation recovery. Since our start, our dedicated team of 20+ has successfully delivered over 60 million pounds of food, translating to more than 50 million meals provided to those in need.
