Program offers exclusive shopping discounts
and moving resources for U.S. Armed Forces and Military
Spouses
ATLANTA, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Armed Forces Day, The Home Depot
launched a new Military Moving hub designed to offer information
tailored to military families to learn how to save time and money
on their next Personally Procured Move (PPM), including a
downloadable permanent change of station (PCS) checklist and
more to the hundreds of thousands of active-duty military families
who relocate every year.
Military families on average relocate every 2-3 years, with
military retirees averaging six or more relocations over their
military career. According to Blue Star Families' annual Military
Family Lifestyle Survey, active-duty service members and military
spouses consistently rank frequent military relocations and rising
cost of home ownership as top quality-of-life issues accompanying
service in the U.S. Armed Forces.
The Home Depot's new military moving hub is designed to be a
one-stop-shop for all military relocation essentials. From moving
truck rentals and boxes to décor and cleaning materials, the
website is designed to help military families take the stress out
of PCS. Families can discover how to save time and money on their
next PPM with a downloadable military moving checklist, found at
www.militarymoving.com.
"At The Home Depot, we hold a special place in our hearts for
those who serve our country, and we appreciate the unique
challenges and sacrifices military families face," said
Erin Izen, senior director of
Military Relations for The Home Depot. "Moving is stressful, and
each PCS is different. Our goal is to make these moves go a little
smoother for our military families." The Home Depot's Military
Moving hub offers exclusive resources and shopping discounts to
members of the U.S. Armed Forces and military spouses,
including:

www.militarymoving.com is a new resource and support hub with
information tailored to military families to learn how to save time
