Local Movers and Charities Partner to Help Community Thrive
– Get Your Move On, LLC, joins with UMOM and Furnishing Dignity to Bring Families Home –
Tempe, AZ (February 4, 2016) – Get Your Move On, LLC, a leading local family-owned and operated moving company, has announced a new program in partnership with two notable Valley non-profits to help Arizona families rebuild their lives. Get Your Move On cares about giving back to the community – helping those in need is a significant aspect of their mission statement – and their newest partnership will have a powerful impact.
The company has made a commitment to begin offering charity moves to non-profit organizations in 2016; the first two organizations to benefit from this are UMOM and Furnishing Dignity. As the largest homeless shelter for families in the state of Arizona, UMOM provides families in need with anything from emergency and transitional shelter to permanent and affordable housing support to ensure every family has a home. Furnishing Dignity provides families with furniture and basic household goods that they may need.
“It’s a natural fit for us to complete the process of getting families back on track with moving assistance,” said Derek Greene, owner and president of Get Your Move On. “With help from a professional moving company and its trained and experienced team, these great organizations will be able to help more deserving families move into their permanent homes sooner.”
The Get Your Move On team’s goal for 2016 and on wards is to offer at least two charity moves each month, with the hope of partnering with more organizations in the future. In addition to this recent commitment, the company is an active member of the community across the Phoenix metropolitan area. Get Your Move On also makes an annual donation of more than $10,000 in logistical support to the Autism Speaks Walk Now event, hosted by the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization.
“We are thrilled to have the support of the team at Get Your Move On to help our families make a successful transition into a permanent home,” said Jessica Palacio, director of marketing at UMOM. “The parents and case managers at UMOM work tirelessly together to meet each individual family’s unique needs and seeing them move into their own home and begin to thrive gives us all immense satisfaction; we love seeing the community come together to help.”
The next move in collaboration with these three organizations is scheduled for February 2016. A local family who has been through the UMOM program will be supplied with furnishings from Furnishing Dignity. Get Your Move On will help them safely make the transition into their new home.

When it’s time to move your home or business, there is a great deal of preparation and work that goes into making sure everything goes smoothly. Many people find that using a full service storage solution helps to alleviate some of the stress that comes during a move. Full service storage includes the packing of all of your possessions headed to storage, the careful and efficient loading into a moving truck and the storage of these items in a safe and clean facility until you are ready for them.
You are probably familiar with self-storage facilities, but you may not be aware of some of the key advantages of using full service storage. Here are 3 reasons why full service storage is a smart choice for anyone who is need of storing personal or business related items:
Professional Packing
Whether you’re planning on keeping your belongings in storage for a short time or long-term, you want to be sure that they come out in the same shape as they went in. A big part of keeping your items safe and in one piece is packing them correctly. Rather than leaving the packing of your valuables to chance, choose instead to have them packed by a professional who has experience in handling valuable items, both big and small.
A professional packer will take the extra steps necessary in order to keep your belongings safe, such as protecting furniture with pads and then using shrink wrap to keep everything clean. They are very efficient when packing fragile items and are used to dealing with items of all different shapes and sizes. If you really want to be sure your possessions are safe and clean while in storage, rely on the experience of a professional.
Convenience
As we mentioned before, there is already so much to do when it comes time to move into your new home or office. Your to-do list may seem like it never ends. Imagine the convenience of having someone else deal with everything that needs to go to storage. You’ll be able to focus on other aspects of the move while your storage items are neatly packed up and delivered to a full service storage facility.
Then, when you’re ready for those items in your new home or office, simply give your full service storage company a call and they’ll have everything to you in no time. You’ll avoid so much hassle and save a great deal of time by using full service storage.
One-Stop Shop
Many people who are planning a move are already planning on using a professional moving company to help them get everything from point A to point B. How nice would it be if your moving company and your storage service were the same people?
Get Your Move On offers just that. Not only are we a professional moving company with years of experience moving families and businesses to their new locations, but we also offer full service storage in our safe, clean and climate-controlled warehouse. Rather than dealing with a mover and a separate storage facility, choose Get Your Move On and we’ll take care of all your moving needs from start to finish.

It’s not always easy to know what to do with your kids when moving day arrives. Some parents want their kids to be involved in the move while others would rather keep them away from the traffic of movers with heavy loads. Once the moving truck is loaded and ready to go, some families will have a lengthy car drive before they arrive at their new home. How will you keep your kids happy during that road trip?
No matter what you choose to do with your kids during a move, it’s definitely a good idea to plan ahead so you’re prepared. Here are some ideas on how you can keep your kids happy and entertained during a move:
Let Them Help Pack Their Own Room
Help your child identify the items that are going with you to your new home and which items may be staying behind or are being donated. Then set them up with the right size boxes and let them start packing up. You will probably need to work alongside them to ensure boxes aren’t packed too heavy and that the right things are packed in the right box. Your kids will be happy to be involved and it helps them look forward to the move.
Make an “On-The-Move” Bag
Give your child a backpack or other small suitcase and let them choose a few favorite items that will stay with them through the duration of the move. Along with a few toys, games and books, you might also encourage them to pack some pajamas, a favorite blanket and other items they might need for the first night in the new house.
Snacks
Food is always a winner with kids! Before moving day gets underway, be sure to stock up on snacks for your kids, keeping them separate from other food in the kitchen that might get packed away. Snacks are especially good to have on hand when you’re traveling in the car for long periods of time. You may want to steer clear of snacks with too much sugar.
Movies
You can keep your kids entertained for at least an hour or two when you put on a movie. This can help as you’re packing at your soon-to-be previous residence or in the car as you travel to your new home. You might even designate a room in your home that is just for the kids on moving day to keep them away from the heavy moving.
Books and Games
Picture books, road-trip games and even audiobooks are all great ways to keep your children happy and entertained as you move. When you reach your limit with movies on your trip, books and games are perfect alternatives. Games are a great way to involve the entire family and can make the time pass by in a jiffy.
If you and your family have a move coming up soon, consider using a professional moving company like GetYourMoveOn to do the work for you. This allows you to focus on your kids. Call us to learn more about our services or for a free estimate – 480-695-6621.
