Every day, 42 million people in the United States go hungry, with 1/6 of them being children. Regrettably, 35 percent of the food we produce gets discarded. How can this be happening in America, which is supposedly the richest country in the world? Move For Hunger was founded by Adam Lowy to address the issue of food insecurity. 

Adam was inspired to begin his relief organization while working for his parent’s moving company and found that when families move, they often leave behind perfectly good non-perishable food. He started Move For Hunger as a way to salvage that food and give it to those in need. Today, Adam is recognized as one of the top thought leaders in the food movement, even being named a CNN Hero.

It didn’t cost them much to transport items to local food banks and make it available. This solved a problem for people moving who did not want to waste the food. In this episode of Motivational Mondays, you'll learn more about this innovative organization and what you can do to make a difference in your own community.
