Council of Residential Specialists Announces Partnership with Move For Hunger to Help Feed Those in Need

Chicago, IL, December 04, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Council of Residential Specialists (CRS) announced today a partnership with Move For Hunger, a non-profit organization that works with real estate agents and moving companies to combat the growing hunger problem across the country.

Nearly 50 million Americans, one in six face hunger every day. The Food Research and Action Center reports that hungry children are two to four times more likely to develop health problems, ranging from relatively minor to potentially fatal; while hunger shortens life spans in adults and make them more prone to mental illness and deadly diseases.

“CRS is proud to partner with Move For Hunger,” said Janelle Pfleiger, CRS President. “Together our organizations can help make a significant impact in fighting hunger nationwide. As real estate agents, we can connect people who are moving to Move to Hunger’s relocation companies who will help pack and deliver their non-perishable food items to local food banks.”

CRS is the largest not-for-profit affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS® and has a membership of over 32,000 REALTOR® members located in cities across the Unites States and overseas.

“We are an international organization of real estate professionals, who are committed to making a difference in the communities we serve,” Pfleiger added.

“We are excited to launch this partnership with CRS. Our goal is to expand our impact on hunger relief. Together, we can make fighting hunger when moving an industry standard,” said Adam Lowy, Executive Director, Move For Hunger.
