/PRNewswire/ - On November 22nd, FlatRate Moving® in partnership with FeedingNYC will be providing Thanksgiving Day dinners to families in need -- who would otherwise not be able to celebrate the holiday.
Over the past four years, FlatRate Moving® has had the privilege of being lead sponsor of the FeedingNYC Thanksgiving Day food drive with the goal of ensuring that even those who cannot afford a Thanksgiving meal -- can still enjoy one. This year, it is sponsoring the food drive once more -- providing transportation and manpower to deliver thousands of meals to all five boroughs in one day.
"People do not realize that one in five New York City residents live below the poverty line! It's a major problem -- and we're hoping to make this Thanksgiving Day a brighter one for a few thousand of those families," said Jon Katz, V.P. of Sales and Marketing. "Here at FlatRate Moving®, we take every possible opportunity to take the success that New York City has given us, and to inject it back into the community."
"We feel that it is important to connect with those in need and help them celebrate the tradition of Thanksgiving," said FeedingNYC Founder and LivePerson CEO Rob LoCascio. "Thanks to the generosity of sponsors like FlatRate Moving, FeedingNYC is able to continue its mission of helping families in need in a meaningful way."
The food drive, which will occur on November 22nd, will begin at 5am at Pier Sixty, and all deliveries to shelters around New York City will occur between the hours of 11am and 3pm. Volunteers are welcome and encouraged -- so please sign up for volunteer opportunities by clicking here.
