Movoto Real Estate

Fresno, CA (PRWEB) November 11, 2016 -- Movoto Real Estate’s mission is to make it easier for people to sell homes and find their dream home. Which is why they understand more than anyone that a house isn’t a home without food on the table.

This holiday season, Movoto is partnering with Grocery Outlet stores across Fresno and Clovis to hold a food drive to help strike out hunger. The drive will be held on Saturday, November 12 and Sunday, November 13 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at all 5 Grocery Outlet locations. All donations are welcome and will go to the Community Food Bank.

Fresno County is one of the top 10 producers of agricultural products, yet its food insecurity rate is higher than the national average at 29 percent of children living in food-insecure homes.

Hunger doesn’t seem like it should be an issue in Fresno County, one of the top 10 producers of fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products. However, its child food insecurity rate is higher than the national average at 29 percent of children living in food-insecure homes according to Feed America’s Map the Meal Gap 2016 study. A 2014 survey by Fresno Hunger Count also found that of over 42,000 people surveyed, a whopping 51% of households reported experiencing food shortages at least one month per year.

“It’s the ultimate irony,” said Movoto’s Director of Real Estate Operations Maximillian Diez. “The US gets so much of its food from Fresno County. Meanwhile many residents of this community go hungry every day. Most people don’t realize this.”

He continued, “Making people aware of this problem and providing a means to help are the first steps to solving it. We hope that this event will raise awareness that this problem exists and we need to come together to end hunger in our community.”

For Julie Fulcher, Movoto’s Fresno Area Manager, this cause is particularly important to her. “I’ve built my entire life and career in the Fresno community and when I see that there are people struggling, it really hits home,” she explained.

“People feel shame that they are struggling to provide for their families, and they’re afraid to reach out for help. They shouldn’t be. Everyone goes through tough times. The real mission of food banks is to provide a support network. A community is only as strong as the people we bolster up,” Fulcher said. “I want people to know that we’re all in this together.”

“I grew up in a family and a community where sharing food was the ultimate bonding experience,” added Diez. “Getting a roof over your head is step one for Movoto. Now, helping you put food on the table is step two. I can speak for the entire Movoto team when I say coming to help feed Fresno is the least we can do for a community that has been so welcoming and generous to us.”
