To honor Armed Forces Day, The Home Depot has introduced a new Military Moving hub aimed at providing tailored information to military families, assisting them in saving time and money on their next Personally Procured Move (PPM). This resource includes a downloadable permanent change of station (PCS) checklist and more, catering to the hundreds of thousands of active-duty military families who relocate annually.
With military families typically relocating every 2-3 years and retirees averaging six or more relocations throughout their military career, frequent moves pose significant challenges. According to Blue Star Families’ annual Military Family Lifestyle Survey, recurring relocations and the escalating cost of homeownership consistently rank among the top quality-of-life concerns for active-duty service members and military spouses in the U.S. Armed Forces.
The Home Depot’s new military moving hub serves as a comprehensive platform for all military relocation necessities. From moving truck rentals and packing supplies to home décor and cleaning essentials, the website aims to alleviate the stress associated with PCS. Families can access a downloadable military moving checklist to streamline their next move at www.militarymoving.com.
Erin Izen, Senior Director of Military Relations for The Home Depot, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting those who serve the country. She noted, “Moving is stressful, and each PCS is different. Our goal is to make these moves go a little smoother for our military families.”
The Military Moving hub offers exclusive resources and discounts to members of the U.S. Armed Forces and military spouses, including:
