Coldwell Banker and NorthStar Moving Join Forces to Feed Hungry Kids
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 24, 2013 -- NorthStar Moving® Company, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, has teamed up with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage to launch their first annual summer food drive competition to feed hungry children in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage offices in LA County and Orange County are competing to collect the most food and monetary donations for their local food bank. The month long food drive kicked off July 19th.
“One out of four children in Los Angeles County and one out of five children in Orange County are at risk of going to bed hungry tonight,” said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. “And, many people don’t realize that those hungry children are dependent on their school lunches which could be their only meal of the day, so the need for food donations is even more urgent in the summer. We are so pleased to partner with Coldwell Banker to bring awareness to this critical need taking place right in our back yard and raise as much food and money as we can through our friendly competition. But its not just up to Coldwell Banker, we are asking everyone to please join us in sending hunger packing! By donating even one food item to your local Coldwell Banker office you will be helping feed a hungry child.”
The food drive runs through August 19, 2013. Donations are now being accepted at 35 Coldwell Banker area offices. The LA County Coldwell Banker offices’ donations will benefit the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and the Orange County offices’ donations will benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. NorthStar Moving will pick-up and transport all of the donated items to the two food banks. In addition to food collection, all Coldwell Banker offices have the opportunity to donate to the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Community Foundation to raise money for the food banks. When the total donations are in, NorthStar Moving will award four of the offices. They will buy lunch for the offices in each county who donate the most food and donate the most money.
“It’s such a tragedy to know that—in a beautiful state like California—we have so many people going hungry,” said Jeff Culbertson, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Southern California Companies and executive vice president of NRT’s Southwest Region. “We’re talking about the elderly. We’re talking about children—people who really need the community behind them. That’s why it’s so important that Coldwell Banker is involved with this mission. Through Let’s Send Hunger Packing, I believe we can really make a difference.”
Donations can also be dropped off at NorthStar Moving’s headquarters at 9120 Mason Ave., Chatsworth, California.
