To fight hunger this holiday season, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® of the Greater Lansing area is partnering with the Greater Lansing Food Bank to host its annualMovers for Meals collection drive to provide nonperishable food items to families with the goal of putting more food on tables.
According to Feeding America [feedingamerica.org], 42 million Americans struggle with hunger, which is nearly equal to the 43.1 million officially living in poverty. Even more shocking statistics show of this number, 13 million are children and 5.4 million are seniors that don’t get enough to eat.
