The 7th Annual Holiday Food Drive was a Terrific Success!

With great joy, we are thrilled to announce the 7th annual holiday food drive was a tremendous success! Firstly, many thanks goes to the seventy-five businesses and groups throughout  the Treasure Coast  that stepped up to be a box host.  Making it easy for businesses to participate every year, White Glove Moving & Storage delivers the boxes to each location empty.  Thereafter, the boxes are collected full a week later. Subsequently, some locations contribute just a few items whereas others exceed the one box tenfold.  For example, Elite Electric & Air chose to conduct an internal competition among their staff resulting in 1,000 lbs. of food!

Additionally, as a token of appreciation, a complimentary on-air talk radio interview goes to the organization yielding the most items based on their region. Ambitiously, the goal was to raise 2,500 lbs. of food. Presently, we are ecstatic to share the results exceeded our goal yielding 3,460 lbs. during the food drive! In the rain, the delivery was made on December 2oth, in time for distribution to families in need during the holidays and long school break. As you may know, success like this requires the help of many. Therefore, we will be highlighting each location based on their county within the Treasure Coast.

Moving to Martin County?

Moving to Martin County is very exciting and the reasons to do so seem almost endless!

Luckily, if this is a move you were considering our team of professional movers have composed a list. First and foremost, the Stuart area offers a small town vibe. Being able to live in a place where you can see friendly faces at the grocery store and coffee shop is always rewarding.  Better still, Stuart was voted “3rd best small town” to visit by Smithsonian Magazine. Probably because all structures along the coastline are just four stories high.  This makes it easy to see the ocean each morning.

Next, boating and water sports are also great reasons to live in Martin County.  With our exceptional weather, these activities are available year-round.  Better still, locally there are over twenty marinas to launch from!  Of course, fishing is a huge draw and when moving to Martin County you can experience freshwater, inshore saltwater and offshore saltwater fishing.

Ranking in the top three reasons to move to Martin County is the arts.  Downtown Stuart features  a contemporary performing arts theater called The Lyric.  Once a silent movie house in the 1920’s, the Lyric theater is a hub for great shows and benefit events like Dancing with the Martin Stars.  Additionally, the Arts Council of Martin County is also  downtown in the old courthouse building.  This dynamic group features new exhibitions monthly, cocktail mixers and an epic Arts Fest.  This community wide event is hosted along Ocean Drive mid February each year. Notably, White Glove Moving & Storage is proud to be an onsite sponsor each year.  As professional art movers, we understand the importance of crating and proper handling of all art including those that require additional valuation coverage.

Moving to Martin County is a wonderful idea.  If you love supporting local, here one will find wonderful businesses to work with where you can shop locally with pride. The streets are safe and the communities are all welcoming. In conclusion, the community if full of great people and activities.  If you choose to make this your new home, call White Glove Moving & Storage for a complimentary estimate to make your move easy.

Move for Hunger: Mover of the Year!

White Glove Moving, Storage & Delivery is proud to be named “Mover of the Year” for the nationwide non-profit, Move for Hunger.  Recognized as the official charity partner for Bekins Vanlines, Move for Hunger, mobilizes the relocation industry to fight hunger and reduce food waste. To date, the network has collected more than 6,000,000 pounds of food that is more than 5,000,000 meals!

As an active participant, White Glove works with customers in the moving process to donate unwanted- food so it can be put in food pantries rather than landfills.  Since 2013, White Glove has helped ensure over 100,000 lbs. of food has gotten to the Treasure Coast Food Bank and other food distribution points to help families who are food insecure.

Though customers who move help supply a steady stream of non-perishable food items throughout the year, the biggest impact are the two community-wide food drives our moving company hosts. By working with our local chambers of commerce and contacts, an email and social media campaign is released at the start of summer break and again just before Thanksgiving. The request is simple: Care to be a food drive box host?  For those who commit, which dozens do, the logistics are simple. White Glove Moving delivers empty boxes and a few weeks later returns to pick up full boxes. Many businesses and communities use hosting a box to reach out to others and get their staff, customers and neighbors to donate food.  Once the food drive concludes all businesses who contribute are recognized publicly and some are even featured on local radio.

Currently over 50 businesses are hosting boxes with pick up scheduled the week of December 12th.  The goal is to reach 2,000 lbs. of food to help ensure as many folks as possible enjoy a delicious holiday feast.  Thank you to all who are participating throughout the Treasure Coast.  Participating businesses are broken down by city:

White Glove: BBB Torch Award Winner for Business Ethics

White Glove Moving, Storage & Delivery, agent for Bekins Van Lines, was pleased to accept the 2018 “Large Company” Torch Award for Business Ethics during the Better Business Bureau (BBB) of South East Florida and the Caribbean’s inaugural awards luncheon.  Companies were nominated by peers in the business community that sought to highlight the high standards of leadership and organizational ethics performed by for-profit entities broken down into small, medium and large categories based on the number of full-time employees.

Each of the 75 plus companies nominated submitted information regarding their ethical relationships with customers, employees and vendors which translates into a high level of trust in the communities they serve.  The rigorous review of true character for each business included a deep examination of how they adhere to the six principles of TRUST.   Winners were chosen by an independent panel of judges appointed for their own commitment to high ethical standards.

“Communicate to Differentiate,” rang true to the judges when selecting White Glove Moving, Storage and Delivery of Florida for their winner in the Large Company category with 50+ employees.  In an industry that often gets a bad reputation for rogue movers and price gouging, it was refreshing for White Glove to be recognized for their efforts to go above and beyond when it comes to customer service, communication and compassion during the often stressful time of a move.  The company’s ability to perform great work, reinvest in its employees and contribute to the community; making it an area families want to move to, live in and be proud of are just a few of the reasons this growing business has repeatedly earned an A+ rating with the BBB, Angie’s List and Home Advisor and is proud to be the first Torch Award recipient for South East Florida and the Caribbean.

Owners Debbie and Phil DeLange with VP of Marketing Anna Valencia Tillery
