Go Mini's Partners with Move For Hunger to Combat Food Insecurity Nationwide

Go Mini's, one of North America's fastest-growing portable storage franchise brands, has established a strategic partnership with Move For Hunger to combat food insecurity across its network territories. The collaboration represents a significant expansion of the company's community engagement efforts, transitioning from local initiatives to nationwide impact through its extensive franchise system.

Chris Walls, President and CEO of Go Mini's, explained that the partnership emerged from shared values of sustainability and social responsibility. Go Mini's has always encouraged local community engagement, and our partnership with Move For Hunger amplifies that mission by extending our reach from neighborhood initiatives to nationwide impact, Walls stated. The collaboration leverages Move For Hunger's innovative approach of using the relocation industry to collect and deliver nonperishable food items to families facing hunger.

The program is being implemented across all Go Mini's markets through a streamlined donation system integrated into the customer rental process. Customers can contribute monetary donations during checkout, while Go Mini's will also make corporate contributions. This combined effort is projected to enable the delivery of over 20,000 meals to those in need throughout the company's network territories. The initiative represents a natural alignment with Go Mini's operational capabilities, as noted by Walls: Move For Hunger's innovative approach is leveraging the relocation industry to collect and deliver nonperishable food, which aligns seamlessly with Go Mini's expansive franchise network and national presence.

Franchise owners play a critical role in the program's implementation and success at the local level. Their responsibilities include educating customers about the partnership and donation process, collecting nonperishable food items during peak seasons like the holidays, coordinating food pickups and deliveries, and organizing seasonal food drives to support their communities. This decentralized approach ensures the initiative remains responsive to local needs while maintaining national coordination.

While the partnership is still in its early stages, Walls indicated potential for future expansion and adaptation. Although this partnership is still in its early stages, the potential for future expansion is promising, he noted. The company plans to integrate the Move For Hunger initiative into its marketing and operational strategies as a way to deepen community engagement across the country. The open-ended nature of the collaboration allows for flexibility in responding to evolving community needs while maintaining the core mission of reducing food waste and supporting families facing hunger.

The partnership represents a significant step in corporate social responsibility within the storage and relocation industry, demonstrating how business operations can be leveraged to address pressing social issues. By combining Go Mini's national footprint with Move For Hunger's specialized approach to food rescue, the collaboration creates a scalable model for addressing food insecurity while maintaining the company's customer-first philosophy that has driven its expansion to over 100 sold territories across North America.
