Harrington Moving & Storage in Maplewood, New Jersey, participates in a wide variety of philanthropic projects. Not only is it a leader in the moving and storage business, it also initiates regular service projects that benefit the community.
The company completed a drive to collect Halloween costumes for needy children in New Jersey. Harrington provided transportation and employees to collect and distribute the costumes. The children and their families receiving the costumes were extremely grateful for the company's efforts.
The moving and storage company recently provided free storage space to a local family undergoing foreclosure on their home. Because the family was moving into a smaller home, they didn't have enough room for all of their belongings. They were able to store some of their furniture and antiques in the Harrington facility.
Harrington donated free moving supplies to families moving to a new school district. "Having moved to a new school district when I was a child, I remember how stressful it was on my parents. I remember the hundreds of things we had to take care of, and how costly some of these things were. I felt the need to help out my clients who were going through the same thing," said President Jeff Harrington.
So, Harrington employees spent their day off delivering boxes and supplies to their various clients in New Jersey and New York. "I was actually on my way to the hardware store to purchase my moving supplies when Harrington called and told me the great news. I was so appreciative that they sympathized with my family, and thought of a clever way to help us out. I couldn't thank the movers enough when they hand delivered the moving materials," says Harrington customer Sandra Adar.
"When you use Harrington Moving & Storage, you join the Harrington family. We take care of our family, and like to aid them in any way we can. This project was a perfect example of what we are all about," says Harrington mover Rog Clyden.
Harrington Moving & Storage has been in business since 1996. It regularly participates in charitable and philanthropic projects that benefit the community where their facilities are located. Local non-profit organizations consider Harrington a valuable asset to the community. It has won the Circle of Excellence award from New Jersey Movers and the Warehouseman Association.
