Apex Moving + Storage, working in partnership with Move for Hunger, recently delivered 1,000 meal kits to Second Harvest Food Bank in Nashville, Tennessee. The effort highlights how transportation resources can be leveraged to fight food insecurity while reducing food waste.
“The effort is spearheaded by long-standing Move for Hunger partner Apex Moving + Storage, an agent of Atlas Van Lines, which is providing transportation and logistics support at no cost,” the press release said.
Using Transportation to Fight Hunger
Move For Hunger is a nonprofit dedicated to recovering surplus food and directing it to those who need it most. In this initiative, community drives and corporate partnerships helped assemble 20 pallets of shelf-stable, nutritious meal kits, which are now available to families struggling to access regular meals.
In Tennessee, food insecurity remains a significant challenge. About one in five children and 1,000,000 residents across the state face inconsistent access to healthy nutrition. Deliveries like this one play a vital role in connecting surplus resources to those in need.
“Every delivery like this brings us one step closer to a hunger-free future,” said Adam Lowy, founder of Move for Hunger. “We’re grateful to Apex Moving + Storage for their unwavering commitment to our shared goal. By mobilizing their trucks and teams, we’re turning potential waste into lifelines for neighbors in Nashville and beyond. Since 2009, our network has delivered over 55 million meals – including more than 1 million meals in Tennessee and initiatives like this keep that momentum going strong.”
Impact Beyond Delivery
This initiative demonstrates the power of logistics and transportation in community service. Moving companies, by using their fleet and staff, can extend their impact far beyond traditional business roles. The partnership shows how efficiently structured delivery systems and committed drivers can make a measurable difference in the fight against hunger.
