Imlach & Collins Brothers Bestowed Mover of the Year Award for Efforts with Move For Hunger
Dallas, Tex. (PRWEB) January 16, 2015 -- Imlach & Collins Brothers, an agent of Atlas Van Lines, was recognized as the top recipient of Move For Hunger’s 2014 Atlas Van Lines Mover of the Year award. This merit distinguishes an Atlas Van Lines agent who had the highest amount of participation and donations for ongoing efforts to prevent hunger in its local community. To date, Imlach & Collins Brothers has accumulated more than 121,948 pounds of non-perishable food for the Dallas market. Since the partnership’s inception with Move For Hunger, Atlas Van Lines and its network of agents have collected 357,937 pounds of food, which has contributed to feeding more than 298,280 individuals across the country.
“Our staff is always looking to give back to the community, and Imlach & Collins Brothers is honored to participate in Move For Hunger’s nationwide effort to fight hunger,” said Ian Imlach, sales representative at Imlach & Collins Brothers. “This year alone, we were able to supply 73,238 meals for those individuals in need of assistance, giving us a number we will strive to exceed in years to come.”
Since 2013, Imlach & Collins Brothers has been heavily involved in North Texas Food Bank's Food 4 Kids program. Operating in 330 elementary schools throughout North Texas, Food 4 Kids reaches 11,000 students weekly who are at risk of being food insecure. When the food bank reached out for help due to budget cuts, Imlach & Collins Brothers did not hesitate to extend a helping hand. As a result of their unwavering commitment and assistance to the program, students have access to enough food to sustain their families throughout a weekend. In addition, Imlach & Collins Brothers also participated in the Dallas Area Public Library Food Drive which included 25 participating area branches and six Move For Hunger movers in March of 2014.
“In the few years Imlach & Collins Brothers of Dallas have been participating, their efforts have proven to be invaluable in the fight against hunger,” said Adam Lowy, executive director at Move For Hunger. “Their commitment to the community has earned enough food to feed more than 101,623 individuals in need. This is a clear illustration of the impact our movers make on a year-round basis.”
