NorthStar Moving Unveils Charitable Service

California’s eco-luxury, full service moving and storage company collects donations and delivers items to the organizations that turn them into a great cause

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NorthStar Moving Corporation, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, has unveiled a new customized package designed to deliver a helping hand to the community and add the spirit of generosity to a flawless relocation experience.

“Donations don’t need to be dollar signs”

Through new partnerships with The Clothes Off Our Back Foundation, a 501c3 organization that hosts charity auctions showcasing today's hottest celebrity attire with proceeds benefiting various children’s charities, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, retail outlets that sell gently-used home furnishings to fund the construction of Habitat for Humanity houses within the community, and regular deliveries to Goodwill Southern California, NorthStar Moving is turning moving into a charitable act.

The new specialty package has garnered a famed nickname and can be requested individually or combined with any of NorthStar Moving’s luxury services to address a customer’s specific moving needs:

The Mother Teresa - Get into the giving habit; move other’s lives as you move your own. From go-go boots, blenders, bedside tables, to Aunt Betty’s patch work quilt, and even red carpet worn ensembles, every little stitch can be transformed into good. NorthStar Moving clients need not worry about stuffing garbage bags of old clothes into their hybrid or leaving old furniture curbside hoping for worthy takers. The company will collect donations from their celebrity and non-celebrity clientele and deliver the items to their charitable partners that can turn them into a great cause. When you wave good-bye to the red truck full of your unneeded belongings you will feel good knowing that you just put a bigger smile on at least one other face. As Mother Teresa once said, “If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”

“Donations don’t need to be dollar signs,” said Laura McHolm, co-founder of NorthStar Moving Corporation. “Most people during the course of their move throw out more stuff than at any other time. We have an opportunity to give those unwanted items a second life, donating them to those who need them. Whether it is in the midst of a move or simply a weekend house cleaning, our crews and red trucks will be working to gather donations. Giving back is the best part of our job!”
