Move For Hunger

What Move For Hunger does

Move For Hunger is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2009 and headquartered in Neptune, New Jersey, that mobilizes the North American relocation industry to reduce food waste and fight hunger. Its operational core is a technology-enabled logistics coordination network spanning 1,200+ professional moving companies, 3,700+ mobilized relocation professionals, multifamily property partners (including Bell Partners, Korman Communities/AVE, Assurant, Valet Living), and a Charity Freight Network of logistics providers (Cooler Logistics, Echo Logistics, Allen Lund Company). The organization runs multiple interconnected programs: the Mover Network (with a $300 one-time joining donation and a 300 lb/year collection commitment), the Find a Mover directory, the Food Recovery Program for bulk surplus food from manufacturers and distributors, the Multifamily Program for resident move-out donations, the Freight Savings Program for food banks, Team Move For Hunger (a fundraising race team operating since 2014), and a CSR/team-building events portfolio. An Advocacy Program targets federal policy on SNAP, affordable housing, and wages.

The technology stack centers on a logistics coordination platform rather than a software product: it includes the Find a Mover tool, Food Drive management system, Food Recovery Program logistics tooling, the Round-Up App for micro-donations, and a Charity Freight Network directory. The stack is third-party-standard (Cloudflare, Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, WordPress/Concrete5, Google Analytics), with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, proprietary algorithms, or integrations APIs beyond standard web payments.

The revenue model is donation-driven across five streams: (1) individual one-time and monthly recurring donations, (2) corporate giving, sponsorships, matching gifts, and team-building events, (3) Mover Network Membership ($300 one-time donation with annual collection commitment, $100 short-fall donation), (4) major/planned giving, stock, IRA, and DAF donations, and (5) Freight Network annual minimum donations. Geographic reach is U.S. and Canada, and the organization's credibility is reinforced by Candid Platinum Transparency, Charity Navigator 4-Star, and GreatNonprofits Top Rated recognition.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Feeding America: Largest US hunger-relief nonprofit and national food bank network. Comparable as the dominant US food assistance platform, but operates a more centralized food bank model rather than Move For Hunger's mover-network-driven logistics innovation.

Direct peers

• City Harvest: NYC-based food rescue and hunger-relief nonprofit that collects surplus food and redistributes it. Directly comparable as a food-rescue organization addressing both food insecurity and food waste, with overlapping food bank and food recovery operations.
• Food Recovery Network: Student-led nonprofit that recovers surplus food from college dining halls and donates to community partners. Comparable mission and food-recovery focus, but operates primarily on campuses rather than through a mover/relocation network.
• Rescuing Leftover Cuisine: National nonprofit that rescues surplus food from restaurants and corporate events and delivers it to shelters and food pantries. Closely comparable food-rescue mission and donor/recipient model, with overlapping corporate volunteer and CSR programs.
• Food Donation Connection: Nonprofit that partners with foodservice operators to donate surplus prepared food to local charities. Directly comparable as a logistics-coordinating food donation nonprofit serving a similar corporate-donor base and food-recovery mission.

Emerging players

• FoodCloud: Tech-enabled food redistribution platform connecting retailers to charities, operating across Ireland and the UK with growing international presence. Comparable food-rescue mission and tech-enabled donor-recipient matching, though focused outside North America.
• Too Good To Go: App-based marketplace for surplus food from restaurants and retailers, with strong European and growing North American presence. Adjacent food-waste mission, but operates a commercial marketplace model rather than a nonprofit donor network.
• Rethink Food: NYC-based nonprofit that rescues surplus food and uses it to prepare restaurant-quality meals for communities in need. Comparable food-rescue and hunger-relief mission with restaurant/culinary partnerships, though operates a vertically integrated meal-prep model.

Regional players

• Second Harvest of South Jersey: Regional food bank serving the same South Jersey geography as Move For Hunger's headquarters. Comparable as a local food bank partner-recipient, but focused on direct distribution rather than long-haul transportation logistics.
• Food Bank for New York City: Major NYC hunger-relief organization serving as a recipient partner for Move For Hunger's distribution network. Comparable food assistance mission, but focused on direct service to New York City rather than national logistics coordination.
