Adam Lowy’s family has owned a moving company for close to a century. Although Adam didn’t plan to pursue a career in the family business, when he learned that there is often a significant amount of perfectly good food left behind when people move out of their houses that ends up being thrown away, he decided to get involved. In 2009, Adam quit his full time job to start Move For Hunger, a nonprofit organization that encourages moving companies to collect unwanted food and deliver it to food banks across the country to prevent this edible food from ending up in the landfill. Now with a network of more than 600 moving companies in the U.S and Canada, Move For Hunger has helped to get more than 4 million pounds of food to people in need.
