Join Us in Fighting Hunger in Chicagoland
Hunger continues to impact families right here in our own neighborhoods. Across Cook County, 1 in 9 children lack consistent access to nutritious meals. At Mid-West Moving & Storage, we believe everyone deserves a full table — especially during the holiday season.
This November and December, we’re once again teaming up with Move For Hunger, a national nonprofit that partners with moving companies to reduce food waste and deliver meals to local food banks. And we’re asking YOU to join us in supporting local families across Elk Grove Village, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Itasca, West Chicago, Elmhurst, and Chicago.
