Go Mini's, a national franchise specializing in portable storage and moving services, joins forces with the non-profit organization Move For Hunger to address the hunger epidemic. The thoughtful venture is structured to leverage the logistical capabilities and widespread presence of the moving company to facilitate the collection and distribution of unopened, nonperishable food items to local food banks.
The initiative includes multiple channels for contribution. One may take advantage of Go Mini's integrated online donation mechanism during the customer checkout process or visit certain franchise locations that are designated as donation drop-off points. The company has also committed to physically transporting collected goods via its own fleet and will make a financial contribution to Move For Hunger's operations in order to further support the effort.
