All My Sons helps raise 200,000 meals in New Orleans hunger drive

All My Sons Moving & Storage joined Move For Hunger and 14 apartment associations in New Orleans on June 18 to pack and deliver snack kits during Apartmentalize, raising more than 200,000 meals for local children. The effort also sent 2,000 snack kits to Second Harvest of Greater New Orleans and Aradiana, part of a broader push to fight food insecurity through the moving industry.

Why it matters: - New Orleans has high child food insecurity, with nearly one in three children facing hunger. - The event turned an industry conference into a large-scale food drive that translated volunteer energy into meals for children. - All My Sons Moving & Storage used its trucks and crews to move food, not just households, extending its core business into community aid.

What happened: - All My Sons Moving & Storage joined Move For Hunger and hundreds of multifamily professionals on June 18 in New Orleans for “Parade with a Purpose.” - The event took place during the National Apartment Association’s Apartmentalize conference. - Fourteen apartment associations and property management companies participated in the march and snack-kit packing effort. - Sponsors and marchers helped raise more than 200,000 meals for the local community.

The details: - All My Sons delivered 2,000 snack kits to Second Harvest of Greater New Orleans and Aradiana. - The 2,000 snack kits were enough to provide 4,000 kid-friendly meals. - Zack Turturici, chief marketing officer at All My Sons Moving & Storage, said the company wanted to help “carry these meals the final mile.” - Move For Hunger mobilizes moving companies, apartment communities, corporations and volunteers to rescue surplus food and deliver it to local food banks. - Since 2009, Move For Hunger has delivered more than 61 million pounds of food, equal to more than 50 million meals. - All My Sons Moving & Storage was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in Carrollton, Texas. - The company says it operates more than 90 locations across 32 states. - All My Sons offers local, long-distance, auto, residential, commercial and corporate moving services.

Between the lines: - The partnership shows how logistics networks can be redirected for hunger relief without creating a separate delivery system. - The multifamily industry gave the campaign scale by combining associations, property managers and moving crews in one public event. - The food insecurity framing suggests the meal count was meant to emphasize immediate local need, not just charity optics.

What's next: - All My Sons is expected to continue supporting Move For Hunger through its nationwide moving network. - Move For Hunger will keep using industry partnerships to rescue surplus food and route it to food banks. - The New Orleans event may serve as a model for future conference-based hunger relief drives in other markets.

The bottom line: - All My Sons used a national industry event to turn volunteer activity into direct hunger relief, with a measurable local payoff for New Orleans children.
