FlatRate Moving, Food Bank for NYC Partner to Provide Meals for Queens

FlatRate Moving will pick up and drop off food drive bins at approximately 400 locations throughout the city.

FlatRate Moving and Food Bank for New York City have entered into a partnership that will benefit hundreds of residents across Queens.  

As part of the partnership, FlatRate Moving will pick up and drop off Food Drive bins at approximately 400 corporate offices and community centers throughout the city.

"With a $30,000 savings from using FlatRate Moving trucks, the Food Bank will be able to redirect that money for other needs, such as providing 150,000 additional meals to New Yorkers this year," a release on the development said.
