“Millions of Americans face food insecurity every day and together with Move For Hunger, we can help put food on the tables of families across the country,” said Simon Chen, president and CEO of ERA Real Estate. “We look forward to working with Move For Hunger to provide our passionate brokers and agents the opportunity to hold local food drives during the upcoming holiday season and beyond.”
The ERA “Feed the Need” campaign will kick off officially on Tuesday, November 27, also known as #Giving Tuesday, and will run through December 11. #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.
