From fighting food insecurity to providing shelter for vulnerable individuals, the multifamily industry is at the heart of important charitable work across the United States and Canada. In this special episode in honor of our ThanksGifting campaign, Marcia B. sits down with representatives of five charities that work closely with the multifamily industry to discuss their mission and impact:

• Keli Lynch-Wright: Hatching Hope provides essential supplies to help multifamily residents recover from disasters like fires, floods, and hurricanes.
• Kristen Poteet: Entryway combats homelessness by providing at-risk individuals with a path to housing and economic stability through a career in the multifamily industry.
• Jennifer Bushinger-Ortiz: Move for Hunger fights hunger and waste by coordinating with apartment communities and movers to redirect food to local food banks.
• Bridget O’Connell: CoreGiving relies on support from its multifamily partners to direct 100 percent of donations to fund food banks across the nation.
• Bernadette Majdell: HomeSpace builds and operates affordable multifamily housing on a nonprofit basis to shelter vulnerable individuals and families.
