What if your next move could feed a hungry family? Through an inspiring partnership with Move For Hunger, Piepho Moving & Storage is helping turn moving days into moments of impact, while fighting the food waste and hunger affecting tens of millions of Americans.

With this program, customers are invited to donate any non-perishable food they don’t want to bring with them. Piepho’s moving teams then transport these donations to local food banks, transforming something as ordinary as relocating into a powerful act of kindness.

The Challenge: Food Waste and Food Insecurity

Expired Organic bio waste. Mix Vegetables and fruits in a huge container, in a rubbish bin. Heap of Compost from vegetables or food for animals.

Food waste is a major issue in the U.S., with 30-40 percent of the food supply simply thrown away every year. That amounts to billions of pounds of perfectly edible food discarded each year. At the same time, more than 47 million Americans, including 14 million children, face food insecurity.

The Move For Hunger nonprofit program addresses both issues by rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste and delivering it to people in need.

It is a simple, impactful solution that’s especially effective during moves, a time when families often discard pantry items they can’t take with them, and one that Piepho Moving & Storage is proud to be a part of.

How Move For Hunger Works

STEP 1: Request a Move for Hunger box from your moving point of contact.

STEP 2: Place any non-perishable food items in the box as you prepare for your move.

STEP 3: Give the box to your moving team on the day of your move.

STEP 4: Piepho will make sure that your donations are distributed to families in need.

With Piepho and Move for Hunger, feeding the hungry is as easy to cleaning our your pantry before your move! And the size of your donation does not matter. We accept everything from single cans to entire pantries worth of food.

Why This Matters: A Simple Way to Give Back

For people planning a move, Piepho’s Move For Hunger program offers an easy, meaningful way to give back. Moving can be overwhelming, but the option to donate food adds a sense of purpose to the process. What you may no longer need could be life-changing for a family struggling with food insecurity. It’s a reminder of the power of small actions and the difference they can make.

The Real Impact: Millions of Meals and Counting

Piepho has donated 5.1 million pounds of food since 2013  That translates into 4.2 million meals for hungry people.

Each donation, no matter how small, adds up to a profound impact. Piepho’s efforts show how businesses can weave social responsibility into their services, making a difference while delivering a necessary service.
