ERMoving’s Dedication to Giving Back: Charitable Efforts and Community Impact
Since its founding in 2009 by Justin Hughes, ERMoving has grown into a trusted leader in intra-US relocation services, helping families and businesses transition smoothly across the country. But our commitment extends beyond efficient moves—we’re deeply invested in making a positive difference in the communities we serve. Through targeted charitable initiatives, ERMoving channels its expertise in logistics and transportation to support those in need, fostering stronger, more resilient neighborhoods nationwide. This article highlights our ongoing efforts to contribute to society, reflecting our core values of compassion, integrity, and community support.
Our Philosophy: Moving Forward Together
At ERMoving, we believe that true success is measured not just by business growth but by the impact we have on people’s lives. Founder Justin Hughes established the company with a vision that included social responsibility from day one. “Relocation isn’t just about changing addresses—it’s about building better futures,” Hughes often says. This mindset drives our charitable programs, where we leverage our resources to assist underserved populations, disaster victims, and local organizations.
Over the past 16 years, we’ve integrated philanthropy into our operations, allocating a portion of profits and employee time to causes that align with our mission. Our team members are encouraged to volunteer, with paid time off for community service, ensuring our efforts are both corporate and personal.
Key Charitable Initiatives
ERMoving focuses on housing stability, education, and disaster relief, leveraging our moving expertise.

Measuring Impact and Future Goals
Our charitable contributions aren’t just feel-good stories—they’re measurable.

We track success through partner feedback and community surveys, continually refining our approach.
