Move for Hunger! When people move, they tend to throw out a lot of “stuff” and sometimes that “stuff” is food that could be given to a family in need instead. We now ask all of our customers to set aside any unwanted, non-perishable food items that we then pick up on moving day and deliver to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank on their behalf.  It’s a win-win situation!
