What is Move Out Hunger?
Move Out Hunger is a month-long food and fund challenge among our Galveston County Real Estate Industry intended to inspire a healthy competition and help raise critical support for the Galveston County Food Bank’s Kidz Pacz summer program. It is during the summer months that children often feel the most impact of food insecurity. To fill the gap, the Galveston County Food Bank established Kidz Pacz, a program providing healthy foods for children who normally rely on the National School Lunch program, but struggle during the summer months. Your efforts will be the key to providing nutritious, kid-friendly food items to children in need this coming summer. This program offers nonperishable, ready to eat, kid friendly food from June to August throughout Galveston County.

Financial Donations:
One of the best ways to help is to donate money. For every $1 donated, the Galveston County Food Bank can provide enough food for 4 meals.
• Online team donations can go to our website: www.galvestoncountyfoodbank click on Move Out Hunger and select the team donation. Team must be registered 24hours in advance to be added during the week for addition to the list.
• Collecting cash/check donations. Checks payable to Galveston County Food Bank with the attached donation form. When receiving cash donation, if recipient would like a donation receipt, please include donors name, mailing address, email, phone number and donation amount.
You may also send a list of donors, so the Food Bank can properly credit donations to your organization. Setting up a food donation box reminds your staff and clients to support the campaign and many people feel more connected to the mission by donating food. If you would like donations boxes, please contact Julie at 409-945-4232.
