Every day, Moving Blocks helps homeowners, renters, and businesses experience their best possible moving experiences through the rental of our industrial-strength plastic moving containers, dollies, and wardrobes. By eliminating the hassle, cost, and waste associated with traditional cardboard box-based moves, we have proven there is in fact a better way to move and stand to revolutionize the way people move in the Vancouver Lower Mainland.

At our two-year anniversary, we decided to start showing our appreciation for the support we've received from the community and extend help beyond moving to assist those in need experience their best possible lives. We call it the "Moving Blocks CARES4U™ Charity Program" and just as we've shown our customers a better way to move, we hope to show those in need - both people and animals - a better way to live.

How it Works

Rather than choosing one particular charity to support going forward, Moving Blocks tries to feature a different charity each quarter in order to help spread our help throughout the community. From monetary donations to hands-on contributions, Moving Blocks will do what it can to help the chosen charity. In fact, Moving Blocks at the least is committed to contributing $5 from every order over $100 providing an automatic way for our customers to get involved too. We'll also encourage our partners within the moving industry to get involved where appropriate showing that this industry cares about its community.

Choosing Charities

At the beginning of each quarter, Moving Blocks staff will jointly decide on the featured charity. Although we will certainly have charities close to our hearts due to our own personal experiences and feelings, we will strive to extend our help to different types of organizations over the years ahead. If you are a charity interested in being considered, please don't assume we're aware of you and do feel free to send us information at Suite #323 - 3495 Cambie Street, Vancouver, B.C. V5Z 4R3.

Forgotten Felines Cat Shelter - As a group of animal lovers, the Moving Blocks CARES4U program recently donated money along with cat beds, food, toys, and towels to this true "no-kill" cat shelter located in Surrey, B.C. With over 300 cats to take care of and new abandoned, stray, and abused cats arriving regularly, the shelter is always in need of resources as well as good homes to adopt cats of all ages.

Beyond our donation, we also wanted to help get the word out that cats don't have to be put to sleep at "shelters" like the S.P.C.A. Alternatives like Forgotten Felines exist providing cats with a chance at life even if nobody adopts them. If you'd like to adopt a cat, foster one, or simply donate your time or financial assistance, please visit their Web site at: www.forgottenfelines.ca
 

The Mel Zajac Foundation With your help, the Moving Blocks CARES4U program donated 10 computers this quarter to this long-standing charity organization helping children, seniors, and those with special needs within B.C.

Several of the computers will be used in the new Internet Cafe at The Zajac Ranch - a retreat designed to improve the self esteem, confidence, and quality of life for children with life-threatening illnesses. Additional computers were set up at a seniors home in North Vancouver and the remaining systems were installed at the foundation's head office.

Money was put into holding a charity fundraiser where each guest had to donate reusable items to gain admission. At the end of the successful event, we ended up with stacks of wonderful goods for others to use including numerous winter wear pieces important during our colder winter months. 

With October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Moving Blocks  CARES4U program was pleased to donate a 3BR moving bundle with delivery and pick-up service to a silent auction held in West Vancouver on October 22nd, 2005.
