“Food insecurity remains a critical issue in every community we serve,” said Paula Newell, Chief Operating Officer at CORT. “By renewing this partnership, we reaffirm our dedication to leveraging our people, resources, and reach to make a tangible difference.”

Since joining forces in 2017, CORT has donated over $600,000 and helped deliver more than 450,000 pounds of food to local food banks across the country in the communities we serve. This equates to over 380,000 meals to those in need. The renewed agreement builds on this success with expanded initiatives designed to engage customers, employees, and communities:

  • Permanent Food Donation Stations at all CORT Furniture Outlet locations nationwide, making it easier for customers to donate non-perishable food items year-round.
  • Annual November Food Drive, encouraging 100% participation across all CORT districts to maximize impact during the holidays.
  • Multifamily Housing Movement, leveraging CORT’s strong relationships with property management companies to expand Move For Hunger’s reach into more apartment communities nationwide.

“Our partnership with CORT has been pivotal in delivering hundreds of pounds of food each week to food banks nationwide, helping families in need,” said Adam Lowy, Executive Director of Move For Hunger. “Looking ahead, we’re eager to strengthen this collaboration and continue driving meaningful change together.”

Move For Hunger’s nationwide network has already facilitated more than 74 million pounds of food collected, equating to more than 60 million meals delivered to food-insecure communities since 2009. With CORT’s renewed commitment and expanded engagement programs—the organizations aim to amplify these efforts over the next two years.
