"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.  

FlatRate Moving will also donate 10 percent of the cost of any move booked by a customer who refrences the Food Bank for NYC, up to $20,000, from Oct. 15 through March 15. The moving company will also donate $5 to the Food Bank for every Google + review from past and current FlatRate Moving customers.
