ASBURY PARK, N.J., March 14, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Move For Hunger today announced that it has again been selected to receive the annual J.L. Simmons Non-Profit PR Grant for 2016. The Grant, launched in 2000 by Neotrope(R) helps worthy causes raise visibility to media and public for the charity's good works.
With this commitment, Neotrope aligns itself with Move For Hunger's ongoing mission to reduce food waste and fight hunger. To date, the non-profit's network of relocation professionals has collected and delivered more than 6 million pounds of food - providing more than 5 million meals - to food banks and pantries across North America.
As part of this in-kind grant program, Neotrope(R) is providing public relations (PR) solutions, news dissemination (through its Send2Press(R) Newswire service), online advertising, and social media marketing for Move For Hunger. This program is intended to help raise awareness of the 501(c)3 non-profit to traditional media, to the public, as well as potential sponsors and donors, regarding their efforts.
"One in six Americans is affected by food insecurity. It's a national problem that affects every community," explains Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "With the support of companies like Neotrope, we can further reduce food waste and fight hunger across North America. We appreciate Neotrope's ongoing commitment to helping us promote these efforts."
"We're honored in once again providing promotion assistance for Move For Hunger," said Neotrope CEO, Christopher Laird Simmons; a member of PRSA and ASCAP. "We've been impressed with how the organization has rapidly grown over the past five years in helping the homeless through their innovative partnerships with the moving and transport industry."

About the Non-Profit PR Grant:
The Non-Profit PR Grant(TM) program was originally launched in 2000 to help assist U.S. 501(c)3 worthy causes to raise awareness, attract halo sponsors, and better connect with donors and volunteers. Other PR industry firms have since copied the name, but ours is the original.
Starting in 2013, the Grant was re-named after the company co-founder, the late Dr. J.L. Simmons, PhD, who passed away in 2003. Now the Neotrope PR Grant program is known as the "J.L. Simmons Non-Profit PR Grant."
With this cause-related marketing grant program, Neotrope has been honored to help many worthy causes in past years, including the Bob Moog Foundation, Camp Blue Skies, Children Awaiting Parents, Girls Write Now, Move for Hunger, National Inclusion Project, Pacific Pinball Museum, Special Equestrians, Starlight Children's Foundation, World Savvy and dozens more (use of any org name does not imply endorsement).
