Did you know that 1 in 6 children in Cook County do not have access to nutritious meals? At Mid-West Moving & Storage, this is something we want to change. This is why we have partnered with the local non-profit organization, Move for Hunger, in their annual Fill-A-Truck Food Drive. Move For Hunger is a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization that mobilizes the relocation industry to reduce food waste and fight hunger.

Between November 1st and December 13th, Mid-West Moving & Storage, will be collecting a number of non-perishable food items at various locations to support this great cause. Please see the list of drop-off locations below to find a convenient address close to you. All food donations will then be brought to Elk Grove Presbyterian Church Food Pantry, courtesy of Mid-West Moving & Storage and Chicago Office Movers.

 

Updates After the Food Drive:

In total, we collected 740 pounds of food and other items. From all locations we filled each box 2 times over (or more).  We donated 18+ boxes to the Elk Grove Presbyterian Church Food Pantry on December 17th.

Reviews from Our Clients

Review by Kristin Welsh

"I had a great experience with Midwest. The movers arrived early, set up my entire home with protective pads and flooring, effectively moved all of my home items, and cleaned up afterward. I have actually used them twice. I had different employees each time, but both crews of men were equally prompt, professional, and efficient. I would highly recommend Midwest."

"The movers did an incredible job! Our second experience with your company is just as wonderful as our first. Your driver is an incredible leader. The rest of the crew was impressive as well. They all worked tirelessly through out the whole time. This move was stressful with the all the school closings and work changes but they made the whole experience much better."
