New Book ‘The Super Seeders: How Plant Scientists Are Racing to Protect Global Food Security Amid Climate Change and Disease’ Explores the Hidden Global Revolution in Food Security

KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Author and entrepreneur Miles Hillmann announces the release of his new book, “The Super Seeders: How Plant Scientists Are Racing to Protect Global Food Security Amid Climate Change and Disease” (ISBN: 978-1834188355, released May 2, 2026 by Tellwell Publishing), a deeply researched and compelling account of the global scientific effort to safeguard the world’s food supply through advances in plant genetics, breeding, and genomic science.

New Book 'The Super Seeders: How Plant Scientists Are Racing to Protect Global Food Security Amid Climate Change and Disease'
Image caption: New Book ‘The Super Seeders: How Plant Scientists Are Racing to Protect Global Food Security Amid Climate Change and Disease.’

In “The Super Seeders: How Plant Scientists Are Racing to Protect Global Food Security Amid Climate Change and Disease,” Hillmann draws on first-hand accounts from scientists, breeders, and gene bank curators working at the forefront of agricultural innovation. The book traces the interconnected systems that underpin modern food security—from global gene banks preserving rare crop diversity, to international research centres and treaties enabling the exchange of genetic material, to the plant breeders translating scientific breakthroughs into resilient, high-yielding crops for farmers worldwide.

At the heart of the book is a pressing global challenge: climate change, population growth, emerging crop diseases, and geopolitical instability are placing unprecedented strain on global food systems. As noted by World Food Prize Laureate Dr. Geoff Hawtin OBE, over 2 billion people currently lack access to sufficient and nutritious food, making agricultural innovation more urgent than ever.

Hillmann’s work highlights how plant geneticists are using rapidly advancing genomic technologies to unlock hidden traits within crops—developing varieties that are more drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, and productive. The book also explores how innovations from the Green Revolution to modern gene editing have shaped today’s agricultural landscape, while acknowledging that crop yield gains are now plateauing and new scientific approaches are essential.

A central question raised throughout the book is whether this genetic and technological revolution in agriculture will reach the 70 percent of Africans who still depend on subsistence farming—an issue that may determine the future of global food security itself.

“This book is based on the voices and experiences of the scientists, curators, and breeders who are quietly reshaping agriculture from the ground up,” said Hillmann. “Their work is not theoretical—it is about ensuring that people everywhere can continue to eat in a changing and uncertain world.”

Endorsements highlight the book’s scientific clarity and global relevance. Dr. Geoff Hawtin OBE describes it as a “captivating book” that both explains the science behind critical agricultural innovations and celebrates the people driving them forward. Plant molecular biologist Professor Mark Guiltinan praises the book as “a timely, deeply researched, and compellingly readable account” that connects the molecular science of plant genetics with the human systems required to turn innovation into impact.

Garry Kuhn, agronomy and fertilizer industry specialist, reflects on the evolution of modern agriculture, noting that while conventional plant breeding drove the Green Revolution, today’s yield plateaus and disease pressures require continued innovation in plant genetics and crop science.

About the Author

Miles Hillmann is a lifelong entrepreneur whose career bridges scientific innovation and applied industrial development. His early work in agricultural research in Uganda during the final days of the Idi Amin era, and later experience in regions facing food insecurity, shaped his long-standing interest in food systems and agricultural resilience. He has since founded and led companies in novel feed ingredients, organic materials analysis, oil and chemical spill control, avian and swine flu prevention and flood control systems. “The Super Seeders” draws together decades of field experience and scientific engagement, telling the story of the global plant genetics revolution through the voices of those driving it.

Impact 100 Jersey Coast Awards $100,000 Grant to Move For Hunger to Address Food Insecurity in Monmouth and Ocean Counties

SHREWSBURY, N.J., Feb. 26, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Impact 100 Jersey Coast has awarded a $100,000 grant to Move For Hunger, a national nonprofit dedicated to reducing food waste and fighting hunger, to support expanded food recovery and delivery efforts across Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

Move For Hunger works at the intersection of food recovery and transportation, partnering with farms, food companies, distributors, and a national network of transportation providers to redirect surplus food—such as short-dated inventory and rejected loads—from landfills to local food banks and pantries at no cost to receiving organizations.

Food insecurity in Monmouth and Ocean Counties has increased by 25% since 2019, with approximately 121,500 residents now facing hunger, while nearly 38% of food produced nationwide goes to waste. This grant will enable Move For Hunger to deliver 160,000 pounds of food locally, including 100,000 pounds of fresh produce and protein, while eliminating transportation barriers by leveraging donated and discounted trucking services. Deliveries will be matched to real-time requests from local food banks and pantries to ensure efficient and responsive distribution. Move For Hunger will also host a community-based educational event in 2026 focused on food waste, hunger awareness, and expanding local recovery partnerships.

“Food should never be a luxury,” said Adam Lowy, Founder and Executive Director of Move For Hunger. “This support allows us to move more food, more efficiently, to neighbors who need it most—while preventing perfectly good food from going to waste.”

Support from Impact 100 Jersey Coast advances shared priorities of addressing unmet community needs, directly serving underserved populations, and delivering measurable, high-impact outcomes. Together, Impact 100 Jersey Coast and Move For Hunger are working to strengthen local food systems and build a more food-secure future for communities across Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

“Impact 100 Jersey Coast is honored to partner with Move For Hunger to expand access to fresh, nutritious food across Monmouth and Ocean Counties,” said Lori Mallon, Grantee Liaison for Move to Hunger at Impact 100 Jersey Coast. “By investing in Move For Hunger’s innovative recovery and distribution network, we are helping ensure that more local families, seniors, and children have reliable access to healthy meals – helping our neighbors thrive with dignity and security.”

Shining a light on School Nutrition and the Lunchtime Heroes that make it happen

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Todd Linsky Consulting (TLC) announced today: TLC-Todd-versations, in collaboration with the Chef Ann Foundation, brings you stories from across our great country on positive changes to the school nutrition landscape, "Todd-versations Lunchtime Heroes."

"Do you know that poor diet and food insecurity are stressors for many children?" asks Todd Linsky, principal at TLC, and host of TLC-Todd-versations. "Poor nutrition contributes to behavioral problems, impaired school performance, and multiple health issues. Enter Ann Cooper, founder of the Chef Ann Foundation."

Chef Ann knows from experience that higher-quality diets and scratch-cooked school meals promote learning. Well-nourished children have better school attendance rates, exhibit fewer behavioral problems, and are more engaged in the classroom. Healthy eating prepares children for long-term success by contributing to brain development, increased energy, and focus.

Who are Todd-versations' Lunchtime Heroes? They are the often-invisible school food service teams across our country that work to make district budgets stretch, meals appealing, and fill the gap many families face when it comes to feeding their children.

Starting November 8, 2022, in addition to our regular programming, TLC Todd-versations is releasing monthly Todd-versations' Lunchtime Heroes. See: https://linktr.ee/toddversations.

Linsky adds, "We have planned episodes with incredibly creative and dedicated people that are improving lives through amazing school nutrition programs, thanks in part to the Chef Ann Foundation."

Todd-versations' Lunchtime Heroes reminds us of what it will take to win today and for the future of children across this country. Families, food service teams, children, and communities are impacted by the Chef Ann Foundation's program to bring scratch cooking to schools. Ann Cooper, its founder, is an internationally recognized author (Bitter Harvest and Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed Our Children), chef (CIA graduate), educator, public speaker, and advocate of healthy food for all children.

She stated the importance of Todd-versations' Lunchtime Heroes this way, "Day in and day out, nobody really pays attention. So, to be able to promote school food service teams, for them to feel good about what they do, for them to tell their stories of the kids they're feeding, and the families' lives they are changing is really important."

Linsky adds to Ann's sentiments by saying, "We hope to bring attention to ways school food service programs are winning the day, inspiring you to get involved. It takes more than any one individual to make these changes. Parents. Teachers. Administrators. Politicians. Local, State, and Federal programs. We can't engage students' minds if we haven't satisfied their guts."

Todd-versations was created in 2021 with the purpose of elevating conversations designed to uplift brands, ideas, and the people behind them. Having released over 120 shows with a global audience of over 50 countries, Todd-versations has quickly found its voice, sharing positivity and inspirational conversations.

Founded in 2009 by Ann Cooper, the Chef Ann Foundation is dedicated to promoting whole-ingredient, scratch-cooking in schools.

As the Holiday Season Approaches, Weichert Workforce Mobility Continues Partnership with Move For Hunger to Fight Food Insecurity

NEPTUNE CITY, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Weichert Workforce Mobility, a leading provider of global employee relocation services, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, continue their partnership to provide hunger relief nationwide.

Weichert Workforce Mobility has been a committed partner of Move For Hunger since 2019. Over the past three years, they have rescued and delivered almost 2.5 million meals to food insecure communities throughout the United States.

"Move For Hunger's mission touches two of our pledges as an organization: our commitment to pursuing sustainable, environmentally-friendly ways to conduct our business, and supporting meaningful causes in communities around the world," said Chris Brunone, EVP, Talent Development and Colleague Engagement. "To date, our partnership has yielded nearly 3 million pounds of food for those most in need. And we're ready to do more."

Throughout the month of June, Weichert Workforce Mobility and another corporate sponsor collaborated with Move For Hunger to launch the 2022 Move 2 Fight Hunger Challenge. With more than 760 participants joining together to fight hunger nationwide, the month-long challenge provided over 92,000 meals to communities in need.

Brunone continues, "Here at Weichert Workforce Mobility, our colleagues are as committed to supporting families in need in their communities as they are to supporting relocating families. Our partnership with Move For Hunger makes it incredibly easy for our colleagues to make a difference and give to others in times of change, in times of need, and in times of difficulty."

Move For Hunger was founded in 2009 by Adam Lowy and now has built out an elaborate network of supporters. It includes over 1,100 moving companies, including many of the world's leading relocation management companies, and more than 3,000 multifamily apartment communities. Move For Hunger has provided over 29 million pounds of food, equaling more than 24 million meals, to those in need.

"Weichert Workforce Mobility has been an incredible partner since the day they became part of our network," said Adam Lowy, Founder and Executive Director of Move For Hunger. "With the holiday season approaching, food insecure families are often forced to choose between buying food and paying for utilities, like electricity or gas, or even giving gifts for loved ones. Our partners enable us to feed more people, allowing families to have access to food and afford their bills."

Church of Scientology Weekly Food Giveaways Help People Cope with Food Insecurity

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- For the past 63 weeks, Volunteer Ministers of the Church of Scientology Los Angeles have been making life less challenging for East Hollywood families and individuals trying to cope with food insecurity.

As of July 2022, 24.3 percent of L.A. County households had experienced food insecurity in the past year. According to a USC survey, 40 percent of them have children in the household. Inflation has made it harder to purchase foods they were relying on before. And hardest hit has been low-income and Hispanic/Latinx households.

To help the community cope with these circumstances, each week Scientology Volunteer Ministers set up their bright yellow tents in the Church parking lot right off Sunset Boulevard near Vermont and provide a variety of foods to those driving or walking through.

Cars simply line up and pop their trunks and the volunteers place food items inside. And they have put food in an estimated 17,000 trunks since the program began.

According to the L.A. Regional Food Bank, the economic impact of the pandemic and inflation have significantly increased the food-insecure population. "Due to the soaring costs of both housing and transportation in Los Angeles County, many people who work - even families with two incomes - often can't make ends meet or put enough good food on the table."

The Church also organizes seasonal giveaways such as turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas foods, candy and gifts for local children.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is located at 4810 Sunset Blvd.

The iconic headquarters of the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles is designed to provide the ideal facilities for Scientologists on their ascent to higher states of spiritual freedom and to serve as a home for the entire community - a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations.

The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is featured in an episode of Inside Scientology, which first aired in March 2018 when Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige launched the Scientology Network on DIRECTV channel 320. The episode can be streamed on Scientology.tv and is available through mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Move For Hunger and Graebel Renew Their Partnership and Turn 11,000 Miles into 47,000 Meals to Help Those in Need

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Graebel Companies, Inc., a leading provider of international relocation services, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, today announced they renewed their partnership and commitment to the fight against hunger.

Graebel has been a partner of Move For Hunger since 2016 and has helped provide nearly 100,000 meals over the years. Graebel's passion to end hunger goes far beyond the boardroom and extends to many of its employees. Just last month, 250 employees participated in the Move2 Fight Hunger Challenge, a virtual competition that enabled donations to Move for Hunger by encouraging employees to be active. Throughout the month of September, participants could run, walk, bike, cook, or garden, to contribute meals to those in need. During the competition, Graebel employees exercised a total of 11,000 miles, (17,700 kilometers) which helped provide 47,000 meals.

"We have been so excited to partner with Move For Hunger over the years and this year's Move2 Fight Hunger event was phenomenal," said Ben Ivory, Senior Vice President at Graebel. "We looked for a way to engage our 800+ employees in 11 countries through healthy, family-oriented activities focused on an urgent need in our communities. The Move for Hunger team was amazing, and we can't wait to expand the program next year!"

Graebel is a leader in global talent and workplace mobility. They make it easy for companies to relocate employees or entire offices overseas and across borders. They work in 165 countries and their team speaks 42 languages.

The relocation industry is familiar to Move For Hunger, which has been making an impact since 2009. By mobilizing an entire industry, Move For Hunger and its network of 1,000+ movers have transported 24 million pounds of food (20 million meals) to local food banks in all 50 states and Canada. For over a decade, Move For Hunger has been focused on non-perishable food donations, but has recently launched its new fresh food program which has already collected more than 400,000 meals worth of fresh produce in its first few months.

"With the support of Graebel, we continue to find new ways to make an impact," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "Our fresh food program is well on its way and continues to build on the momentum of the organization."

The support is needed now more than ever. Five million more people have fallen into food insecurity as the result of the pandemic. Forty-two million people in the United States, including 1 in 6 children, don't know where their next meal is coming from.

"When COVID devastated the entire country last year, our network stepped up to deliver 4 million meals, a record for us," continued Lowy. "And with the support of our loyal partner in Graebel, this year we're on track to transport more meals than ever before."

Move For Hunger and Mayflower Transit Announce a New Partnership to Help Fight Hunger in the United States

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mayflower Transit, the nation's most recognized and trusted moving company, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced today a brand new partnership that will provide much-needed transportation assistance to food banks in the United States while also contributing more than 125,000 meals.

Since its founding in 2009, Move For Hunger has delivered more than 24 million pounds of food - over 20 million meals - across all 50 states and in Canada. The organization continues to increase its impact year after year and is on pace to deliver a record 6 million meals this year alone. The new partnership with Mayflower Transit will only increase its impact.

Mayflower Transit joins an ever-growing network of 1,000+ movers and transportation partners dedicated to fighting food insecurity. Mayflower Transit began with a vision to give people a choice, providing an alternative to using railroads to move household goods. A growing network of paved roads in the early 20th century further enabled long-distance trucking, and thus began Mayflower's foundation as a trailblazer in the moving industry. Over the past 90 years, Mayflower has helped America move with 200 affiliated agents. Mayflower Transit is part of UniGroup, C.A., a cooperative based in suburban St. Louis, Missouri, and also owns the nation's #1 mover United Van Lines, UniGroup Logistics and more.

The new partnership couldn't come at a more important time. After nearly a decade of slowly declining food insecurity in the U.S., the pandemic wiped out the progress made and increased the total number of people struggling to put food on the table to 42 million Americans (1 in 8). Now, the country faces the uncertainty of what the COVID Delta variant will bring as we head into the cooler months when food insecurity usually increases.

"We cannot be more excited about our new partnership with Move For Hunger," President and CEO Marc Rogers said. "The partnership fits hand-in-hand with Mayflower's philanthropic mission to fortify the communities in which we serve through eliminating food waste and fighting hunger. At Mayflower we are seeking new opportunities and pathways to progress that go well beyond simply moving our customer's safely. A partnership with Move For Hunger pairs one of the nation's experts in ensuring millions of meals every year reach the homes of those in need with our vast transportation network. Together, we will be able to increase food security in the communities that need it most."

"I'm thrilled to join forces with Mayflower Transit," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "They're so widely respected and with agents everywhere, we can be that much more effective in our food rescue efforts. Thirty-five percent of all food in the United States goes unused or uneaten. At the same time, people are struggling in every state. The addition of Mayflower and its agents will help put more food in the hands of people who need it most."

Families Facing Food Insecurity Receive Over 27,000 Meals From Employees at CDF Labor Law

IRVINE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The stories are endless of jobs suddenly gone forever and families struggling to get by. As cities across the nation continue to deal with the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, employees at CDF Labor Law LLP (CDF) got busy partnering with food banks and programs aimed to get food into the hands of hungry communities.

"There isn't anyone in our five offices who hasn't seen neighbors, friends and family's jobs disappear because of the pandemic, it's heartbreaking," says longtime employee Dorothy Rausa at CDF. "I know I speak on behalf of other employees at the firm when I say how appreciative I am of the firm's stalwart efforts in the communities in which we work and live to help those in dire need."

She adds, "My co-workers were eager to give, plus with our firm's donation it made this project more important, I love that we take action to help others-not just during the holidays-but all year long."

CDF participated in the 5th annual Food from The Bar program, a campaign driven by the Orange County legal community which raises awareness and provides critically needed meals to food-insecure children, families and seniors in Orange County. Though not the largest law firm, CDF alone, through employee donations and firm sponsorship, raised over $9,000, providing 27,000+ meals to those in need.

Hosted by the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, which ran this year's program between June 1, 2021 - July 2, 2021, the legal community raised a record-breaking $117,661.38 which equates to 352,984 meals.

According to Firm Managing Partner, Marie DiSante, the mobilization of employees from all of its five offices throughout California was inspiring "It was an amazing outpouring of generosity. We may not be as large as other firms, but our employees have huge hearts. I couldn't be prouder," she says.

"I don't think anyone could have predicted how desperate the food need is this year," said Megan Hunker, Donor Relations Associate at Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. "CDF's continued support, especially during a year like this has made a significant impact for Orange County children, families and seniors," she adds.

Move For Hunger Receives $128,000 Donation from the Assurant Foundation

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced today that they have received a $128,735 donation from the Assurant Foundation as part of the '2021 Turning Miles into Meals Challenge.'

Assurant, a leading global provider of housing and lifestyle solutions that supports, protects, and connects major consumer purchases, hosted the 'Turning Miles into Meals Challenge' from May 10 through June 6, with more than 2,200 employees moving to fight hunger. Participants completed weekly and daily challenges to keep them motivated during the month-long event which culminated with an awards ceremony to recognize the group's efforts and to present Move For Hunger with the charitable donation.

This is the second year in a row that Assurant and the Assurant Foundation participated in the 'Turning Miles to Meals Challenge' and exceeded all expectations and goals. In its inaugural year in 2020, roughly 160 Assurant employees participated and moved 15,000 miles to fight hunger. This year, Assurant stepped up in a major way logging more than 128,000 miles or more than 250 million steps. The Assurant Foundation donated $1 to Move For Hunger for each mile earned, and the total donation will help provide 322,000 meals to those families and individuals facing hunger and food insecurity in the U.S.

"Being there to help others especially in times of need and working to strengthen the communities we serve is the heartbeat of our Assurant Cares commitment," said Mike Campbell, president, Global Housing, Assurant. "Our team's enthusiastic support of the critical work of Move For Hunger is one more way we bring our purpose to life while also enhancing our own wellbeing by moving to end hunger."

Since starting in 2009, Move For Hunger has helped transport over 23 million pounds of food (19 million meals) to food banks in every state in the U.S. and in Canada. Last year as COVID-19 shut the country down and unemployment skyrocketed, Move For Hunger and its network rose to the challenge by having its most impactful year yet with over 5 million pounds of food transported (over 4 million meals).

"There are 42 million people in this country who are food insecure. That's 1 in 8 Americans," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "This event is so special because thousands of people mobilized around a common cause. We're so grateful to have a partner in Assurant who is committed to our mission and has the creativity to do something unique to get their entire company involved. After a year inside, I think we all could probably use a few extra steps."

Move For Hunger and Shyft Announce a New Partnership to Help Fight Food Insecurity Nationwide

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Shyft, the #1 online moving marketplace, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced today a new partnership that will grow Move For Hunger's food rescue and hunger relief programs to provide much-needed assistance to food banks across the country.

To date, Move For Hunger has collected and delivered 23 million pounds of food -- providing 19 million meals -- to food banks and pantries all across the United States and Canada.

"Shyft is changing the way people think about moving, and we love that they have incorporated reducing food waste into their model," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "'Donate Your Food When You Move' has been our mantra from the beginning, and it's been our goal to have it become a habitual part of the moving experience. Partnering with Shyft helps us get one step closer to achieving that."

On top of helping collect food with each move, Shyft's financial support will provide over 75,000 meals to those in need.

"We are really proud to join forces with Move for Hunger and contribute to the important cause of eradicating food insecurity through our community of Shyfters," said Keo Sar, Chief Revenue Officer at Shyft. "Covid-19 and its impacts have been everything but a great equalizer, and that's evident from the rise in food insecurity in the US and other parts of the world. We believe that no one should go hungry. That sustenance is a basic human right. Through this partnership, Shyft can make a meaningful difference to the lives of others - providing opportunities to fight hunger and reduce food waste, while banding together employees, clients, and communities for this most worthy cause."

Sar continued, "The bigger impact lies in our ability to influence both our suppliers and customers to engage more with the community through this and other initiatives."

With the global pandemic making food insecurity peak in 2020, Shyft's support couldn't have come at a better time. 42 million Americans are going hungry including 1 in 6 kids. At the same time, 35% of the food produced in the United States ends up in landfills. Move For Hunger continues to step up to the challenge and in 2020, the non-profit transported over 5 million pounds of food (4 million meals), 40% more food than their record-setting year of 2019. Move For Hunger has continued that momentum into the new year by recovering and transporting nearly 1.5 million pounds of food in the first four months, double that same period last year.

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Altair Global, the largest independent, full-service, global mobility services company, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced today their renewed partnership that will provide much-needed assistance to food banks across the country. Their support will help grow Move For Hunger's food rescue and hunger relief programs.

To date, Move For Hunger has collected and delivered more than 22 million pounds of food ‒ providing over 18 million meals ‒ to food banks and pantries all across the United States and Canada.

Move For Hunger and Altair Global have been partners since 2016 and since then Altair Global has helped provide over 3 million meals to those in need.

"Altair Global has been one of our best partners since they became a part of Move For Hunger," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "They continue to innovate and push the envelope of who they are as a company as well as how they support in the fight against food insecurity."

In the first year of partnering, Altair Global hosted a 'Can The CEO' event where employees could fill the CEO's office with food. The event brought in 770 pounds of food equating to 650 meals. Throughout the years, they continue to try new ways to collect food. Just last December, Altair Global hosted a holiday Grinch-themed food drive and fundraiser that collected more than 5,000 meals. The North Texas Food Bank was the beneficiary of both events.

"Altair's commitment to partnering with Move For Hunger has not wavered. We whole-heartedly pledge our support to the Move For Hunger team and to the cause of raising funds to help those in need," said Chad Sterling, CEO of Altair Global. "As we hope to leave the pandemic behind, we cannot forget those who still need our assistance. Now, more than ever, Altair wants to be a source of hope and help to anyone facing difficult times. Through our partnership with Move For Hunger, we can."

Food insecurity touches every community in the country. At the start of the pandemic 37 million Americans were going hungry and due to the pandemic that increased to 42 million Americans including 13 million children. Move For Hunger rose to the challenge by transporting 40% more food in 2020 than its previous record-setting year in 2019. Through the support of partners like Altair Global, Move For Hunger can continue to fight for the families, individuals and children who are most in need of food assistance.

Vistamar School Begins Construction on New Viking Commons

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened many issues of inequity across our region. Vistamar School, an independent college preparatory day school serving grades 9-12, announced construction started this week on the Viking Commons, a new commercial kitchen and gathering space for the school.

The commercial kitchen will provide a nutritious lunch daily for the entire school community, and the innovative communal space will expand ways for Vistamar's students, faculty, and staff to connect. Construction is planned to be completed by August, 2021 for the start of the new school year.

"Our school is built on community and equity. The Viking Commons will provide an important way for everyone in our school community to come together daily over a great equalizer, food," stated Chris Bright, Vistamar Head of School. "We're removing the stress of having to figure out what to do about lunch each day for everyone in the school and instead, providing an array of healthful food options at no added daily charge in a beautiful space to meet."

Design of the Viking Commons has been a collaborative process. Originally envisioned by school leadership working together with the Board of Trustees, the year-long design and fundraising process has incorporated the work of trustees, staff, parents, and the architect, OKB Architecture. The interdisciplinary project team worked diligently using an efficient, cost effective approach to maximize the positive impacts of the project while minimizing funding needed. Care was taken to echo the innovative, open space design of the school.

"As a school committed to best practices in education, our campus design deliberately accommodates and supports the dynamic needs of the community," said Kris Rone, Chair of Vistamar's Board of Trustees and parent of students, classes of '18 and '21. "The Viking Commons will be one of our most dramatic building upgrades since the School was founded."

Vistamar's community is supporting the project enthusiastically and looking forward to the opening when we return to school in August. "The Viking Commons is a natural enhancement to our school, transforming an office area and small commons area into an open-plan, state of the art kitchen and servery and a dynamic and inviting space to gather," noted Chris Bright, "and we're proud to add this powerful enhancement of our school culture and wellness focus."

About Vistamar School

Vistamar, founded in 2005, is an independent college preparatory day school serving grades 9-12. The founders' vision was to tap into the diversity of Los Angeles to bring together students who could learn from each other the skills and attitudes necessary for global citizenship. The Vistamar mission rests on three pillars: challenging academics that engage and inspire students; an intimate atmosphere that supports students with caring relationships; and a diverse community that encourages the authentic exchange of perspectives and leads students to be comfortable crossing cultural boundaries. Vistamar believes there's a better way to do high school.

Move For Hunger and FINCOR Construction Partner Up In The Fight Against Hunger Nationwide

LAUREL, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- FINCOR Construction, a multi-family renovator operating along the east coast, and Move For Hunger, a national relief non-profit organization, have announced a new partnership that will fight hunger and reduce food waste nationwide. Recent reports say that nearly 8 million Americans have fallen into poverty since the summer. It's the fastest rise since tracking began 60 years ago, and food banks across the country are expecting a 60% increase in demand.

Move For Hunger was founded in 2009 by Adam Lowy, the son of a third-generation mover, when he noticed that people throw away a lot of perfectly good food when they move. Starting with his own family's moving company and building from there, Move For Hunger now has a network of over 1,000 moving companies, many of the world's leading relocation management companies, and more than 1,500 multi-family apartment communities, all helping to fight to end hunger by collecting food items and delivering them to local food banks in all 50 states and Canada.

To date, Move For Hunger's network has collected and delivered more than 20 million pounds of food - providing 17 million meals.

The partnership will enable FINCOR to support Move For Hunger's food rescue programs and encourage the multi-family industry clients they work with to integrate the Move For Hunger model into their standard operating processes for customers who are moving. It will also provide the opportunity to continue to expand the Move For Hunger network: a robust community of engaged individuals that want to make a difference in the lives of others and have the transportation resources available to create large-scale change.

The partnership with FINCOR along with their recent fundraiser will also help provide nearly 27,000 meals to those in need.

"FINCOR has been an amazing partner in the fight against hunger," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "FINCOR recognizes that the hunger crisis continues to affect this country at staggering rates. We're grateful for their continued support in helping us provide meals to those in need."

"There are people that need help now more than ever. People are facing issues through no fault of their own, and we have the opportunity and ability to help," said Michael C. Finn, President of FINCOR. "We felt Move for Hunger was the best fit for us to do the most good as we specialize in renovating apartments where residents have to clean out their kitchens before we start. We thought it would be a great addition to the community where residents can donate non-perishables while cleaning out their living spaces."

Through the support of partners like FINCOR Construction, Move For Hunger can continue to make a difference at a time when it's needed the most.

AVE Renews Partnership with Move For Hunger

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- AVE by Korman Communities, a leading hospitality-driven residential real estate brand, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, announced they have renewed their formal partnership for a sixth year to fight hunger and reduce food waste nationwide.

Due to the current pandemic and economic crisis, many families have been left struggling to put food on the table and are turning to food banks in record numbers. The Move For Hunger and AVE collaboration will help food banks across the country meet this unprecedented demand.

People throw away a lot of things when they move, including food - food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than just left behind. With this simple observation, Move For Hunger was born. In 2009, the organization started building a network among relocation professionals to collect those food items and deliver them to food banks across the country.

The network has grown to include more than 1,000 moving companies, many of the world's leading corporate housing providers, relocation management companies, and more than 1,500 multi-family apartment communities. To date, Move For Hunger's network has collected and delivered more than 19 million pounds of food - providing 16 million meals.

As a partner of Move For Hunger, residents at all 14 AVE properties located in the Greater Philadelphia Area, New Jersey, and the East Bay of California have the opportunity to donate their unopened, non-perishable food items rather than throw them away when they move out. The service is free to residents and offers a simple way to give back to the community.

AVE also organizes food drives regularly which helps educate their residents about the issues of hunger and food waste. Since joining in 2015, AVE has collected nearly 29,000 pounds of food - providing more than 23,500 meals to those facing hunger.

"AVE has been a tremendous ally in our fight to reduce hunger in our communities," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "With food insecurity levels rising every day, we have a lot of work ahead of us. AVE remains committed to taking action to help ensure we get food to those who are in great need."

"The AVE team is so proud of our long-term partnership with Move For Hunger," said Lea Anne Welsh, COO of Korman Communities and President of AVE. "Both of our organizations share a passion for taking care of our communities. Now more than ever, we remain committed to our friends at Move For Hunger to fight hunger and reduce food waste."

Before the pandemic, 37 million Americans struggled with hunger, with estimates showing that number could increase by 46% - 17 million more people this year - it has never been more important to come together to help those facing hunger. AVE's support allows the Move For Hunger network to continue being a lifeline to their food bank and food pantry partners across the country.

Move For Hunger is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has created a sustainable way to reduce food waste and fight hunger. We have mobilized the leaders of moving, relocation, and multi-family industries to provide their customers, clients, and residents with the opportunity to donate their food when they move. Members of Move For Hunger also organize community food drives, participate in awareness campaigns, and create employee engagement programs.

AVE is a brand of Korman Communities, a fourth-generation, family-owned-and-operated residential real estate brand specializing in luxury apartments and fully furnished, flexible-stay apartments. Their growing portfolio of 14 state-of-the-art communities in the Greater Philadelphia Area, New Jersey, and the East Bay of San Francisco offers the ultimate flexibility and convenience in living with flexible leasing, professional service teams on site, and unparalleled, on-demand business and resort amenities.

Move For Hunger Receives $50,000 Donation from the Assurant Foundation

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Move For Hunger announced today that it has received a $50,000 donation from the Assurant Foundation to support its COVID-19 relief efforts. The donation will help Move For Hunger provide 120,000 meals to children, families, senior citizens and vulnerable communities that are facing hunger during the pandemic.

Assurant, a global provider of housing and lifestyle solutions that supports, protects and connects major consumer purchases, made the donation on behalf of its employees, who recently completed their Turning Miles into Meals virtual fundraiser.

Assurant's employees were encouraged to stay active, at a safe social distance, to show support for Move For Hunger's mission to reduce food waste and fight hunger. From April 12 through May 11, 2020, 162 Assurant employees participated and together they walked, jogged and completed other activities in which they collectively traveled 14,345 miles to raise awareness about how the coronavirus is exacerbating food insecurity in the United States.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased the number of people who are struggling financially with the ability to put food on the table so completing this challenge and supporting the great work of Move For Hunger are more important than ever," said Ryan Lumsden, president of Multifamily Housing, Assurant.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a massive economic impact and has drastically increased the need for emergency food assistance nationwide. Move For Hunger has delivered more than 2 million lbs. of food to food banks across the United States since March, but the non-profit organization relies on the support of partners like Assurant to help coordinate food rescues, organize food drives, and expand its network.

"More than 37 million Americans were food insecure even before the pandemic, and we know that number has increased substantially," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director/Founder of Move For Hunger. "We are so grateful to Assurant and their employees for stepping up and helping us fight hunger during this unprecedented crisis."

Ward North American and Move For Hunger Renew Partnership to Fight Hunger As Food Insecurity Levels Rise in U.S.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Ward North American, a national moving company with more than 40 years' experience, announced it has renewed its partnership with Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization. As a partner, Ward North American will continue to support Move For Hunger's efforts to fight hunger and reduce food waste.

Due to the current pandemic and economic crisis, many families have been left struggling to put food on the table and are turning to food banks in record numbers. The Move For Hunger and Ward North American collaboration will help food banks across the country meet the unprecedented demand they are facing.

People throw away a lot of things when they move, including perfectly good food - food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than just left behind. With this simple observation, Move For Hunger was born and in 2009 they started building a network among relocation professionals to collect those food items and deliver them to food banks across the country. The network has grown to now include more than 1,000 moving companies, many of the world's leading relocation management companies, and more than 1,500 multi-family apartment communities.

To date, Move For Hunger's network has collected and delivered more than 19 million pounds of food - providing 15.8 million meals.

As members of the Move For Hunger network, Ward North American and their multiple locations educate their customers about the issues of hunger and food waste and encourage them to donate their unopened, non-perishable food items on moving day. The service is free to their customers and turns every move into an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. They also provide Move For Hunger with additional support by organizing food drives and by assisting with transportation for larger food recovery efforts. In June 2020, Ward North American was recognized for their extraordinary dedication to fighting hunger and named Move For Hunger's Mover of the Month.

"Ward North American has been a valuable partner since 2015 and their support has never been more important than it is right now," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "They recently assisted with our pandemic relief efforts and delivered more than 24,000 pounds of food to various social service organizations throughout Texas. We are extremely grateful for all their hard work and proud to call them our partner."

"During this pandemic, our local food banks and community organizations that provide meals and food for those in need, are under tremendous pressure" said Kevin Ankenbauer, President of Ward North American." Our partnership with Move for Hunger has helped us provide increased support to these critical resources in our communities"

Through the support of partners like Ward North American, Move For Hunger can continue to feed more and empower more to fight for the families, children, seniors, and vulnerable communities who lack reliable access to affordable, nutritious food.

TAMPA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Chadwell Supply, a trusted MRO source of maintenance supplies for multi-family properties and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, have announced a new partnership that will help provide much-needed assistance to food banks across the United States. This collaboration will enable Chadwell Supply to support Move For Hunger's food rescue programs and encourage the clients, associations, and property management companies they work with to integrate the Move For Hunger model into their moving out process for residents.

People throw away a lot of things when they move, including perfectly good food. Move For Hunger's network of more than 1,000 moving companies, more than 1,500 multi-family apartment communities, and many of the world's leading relocation management companies, volunteer to collect this unopened, non-perishable food and deliver it to their local food banks.

"Partnering with Chadwell Supply both complements and advances our mission, so this collaboration was a natural fit," explains Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "By combining the strength of our network of multi-family apartment communities and relocation companies with Chadwell Supply's network and partners within the multi-family industry, we have the ability to get a large amount of food to those who need it most."

"Chadwell Supply is excited to partner with Move For Hunger and share in both their mission and their unique service to our multi-family customers," said Pete Wheeler, Chadwell Supply's Vice President of Marketing. "This is a perfect combination of our company culture meshing with the relationships we have with our customers. We will be able to intercept food that would otherwise be tossed out and help reduce food waste while fighting hunger in our communities."

More than 37 million Americans were food insecure before the COVID-19 pandemic and it is estimated that the number could increase by 17 million this year, totaling 54 million. "As a result of the pandemic, we are facing, potentially, the greatest hunger crisis of our lifetime," continues Lowy. "Chadwell Supply understands the need is more critical than ever and is committed to helping Move For Hunger provide meals to those struggling to put food on the table."

Through the support of partners like Chadwell Supply, Move For Hunger can continue to feed more and empower more to fight for the families, children, seniors, and vulnerable communities who lack reliable access to affordable, nutritious food.

With an effective platform where small farmers and home growers can connect, AgroCulture Inc. aims to promote financial and physical well-being of various communities.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that the journey of small business owners is somewhat rocky instead of plain sailing, especially for farmers.

The platform provided by AgroCulture Inc. will act as a bridge between the audiences and the producers to become more accessible to more people.

Not only is AgroCulture Inc. beneficial for farmers and home growers, but also to the general public that wants fresh produce of vegetables and fruits. It is also likely to benefit those residing in areas with high ratio of food insecurity. The products will be moderately priced so a high number of individuals and families can benefit from it.

It will also have a very positive impact on those living in college dorms. If you have been living in dorms, then you must understand the struggle of finding rich and fresh fruits and vegetables at prices you can afford.

Furthermore, the easy access to fresh produce is necessary to keep the world healthy and happy as no amount of wealth equals to good health. At AgroCulture, we focus on safe and healthy practices to meet our requirements. Use of unwanted chemicals and sprays is highly discouraged to keep the quality premium.

In a world where malnutrition is taking a toll on emotional and physical health of people, AgroCulture comes as a rescue. With the right steps taken, we can surely make this world a better place for all.

Farmers and home growers seem to be very hopeful that AgroCulture Inc. will put an end to their struggles. No doubt, it has been among the most struggling communities. We truly believe that the community that provides us with food after months of harvesting, must be given their due rights. We make sure that their efforts and hard work don't go unnoticed and they get the opportunities they truly deserve.

Let's hope the entire process shows favorable results and the farmer community successfully gets on the road to success. It's about time we recognize their efforts and end hunger and poverty one step at a time.

"Food is hope, hope is farming the way into a world where we will not have a single hungry person," says Amina Hora, Founder AgroCulture Inc.

"As we enter our fourth year of raising money for families, we recognize the challenges presented by the social economic disparities in our communities," states Dr. Norris Dorsey. "The Dorsey Academy for Entrepreneurs continues to change this narrative by educating people on how to start businesses and run them successfully. We know the old saying "give them a fish they can eat for a day, teach them to fish and they can eat for a lifetime."

"This is one of the most important golf tournaments I've ever been a part of," said Chris Spencer. "Golfing for Families is for people who look like me, and we really need more people like me. My celebrity friends and I will raise money for those families in need during the holidays."

"I love what Dr. Dorsey stands for (education) and the causes he is raising awareness for," adds Spencer.

Since its inception, the "for Families" initiatives (including Bowling, Skating, and Concert) have raised over $34,000 to feed the families affected by lack of food security in the very communities in which Dorsey Academy runs programming. In 2019, Golfing for Families (#GFF) goal is to raise over $40,000 to help feed over 800 people over the holidays.

Dorsey Academy partners with other local non-profits to feed families and individuals on Los Angeles's Skid Row every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as well as for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Partners include: We Feed the Hungry, The Peggy Beatrice Foundation, and My Friend's House.
