Press Release - Starving Students Helps Make Passover Food Drive a Success

Starving Students Helps Make Passover Food Drive a Success

Los Angeles, CA, April 13, 2006: Starving Students Inc., the nation’s leading local mover, lent its moving services to the SOVA Community Food & Resource Program, a nonsectarian program of the Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles to help with this month’s Passover Food Drive. Starving Students sent movers and trucks to help pick up food donations from various temples.

“We really appreciate Starving Students’ help and support. They were very efficient. They took care of all the details and arrangements for the pickups. Their generosity has helped us pick up far more food than we could have on our own,” comments Maxine Meyer, Resource Development Specialist for SOVA.

SOVA operates three food pantry and resource center facilities in the Beverly-Fairfax area, West Los Angeles, and San Fernando Valley. Each center offers free groceries and supportive services to people whose limited incomes make it difficult to provide adequate, healthy food for themselves and family members. Anyone in need is welcome at the SOVA site nearest them.

“SOVA’s program to fight hunger is a very noble cause and Starving Students is glad to help in any way we can,” says Bear Barnes, Starving Students’ CEO. Starving Students plans to continue volunteering its moving services every year to the Passover Food Drive.

Starving Students is the nation’s leading local mover and completes over 55,000 moves a year. It specializes in both local and long distance moves with a fleet of over 250 trucks. Starving Students has been in business for over 34 years and has 38 branches in 9 states.
