Global honor recognizes one company annually for outstanding charitable impact in the moving industry

Los Angeles, CA, Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NorthStar Moving® Company, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, announced today that it has received the Global Moving Foundation’s 2026 Community Impact Company Award. Presented at the International Association of Movers (IAM) Annual Meeting & Expo in San Diego, the award recognizes NorthStar Moving’s commitment to putting its movers, trucks, warehouses and logistics expertise to work for people in need.

The Jackie Agner Community Impact Company Award honors one company each year in the global moving and mobility industry for outstanding charitable or humanitarian impact. Named in memory of industry leader and longtime IAM volunteer Jackie Agner, the award celebrates her generous spirit and lifelong commitment to service.

“Helping people move forward has always been at the heart of what we do,” said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. “Whether we’re helping a family rebuild after a wildfire, delivering furniture for a fresh start, helping put meals on the table or making it possible for a parent to sit bedside in a hospital with a sick child; we’re happy to share our expertise and talents to make a difference. Our nonprofit partners are the real heroes who all do extraordinary work, and we’re grateful to assist them so they can make even bigger impacts. This honor celebrates those partnerships and our team’s commitment to showing up for our community. When we lift each other up, we all move forward.”

“There is so much good happening around the world because of companies in our industry,” said Global Moving Foundation Director Angela DeConti. “The board chose NorthStar Moving because the company puts its strengths to work for others, using its fleet, warehouses and people to make a real difference where it operates. By inviting everyone in the company to take part, NorthStar Moving has made giving back part of its culture. We are thrilled to recognize NorthStar Moving with this award.”

For more than three decades, NorthStar Moving has supported more than two dozen nonprofit organizations, helping families rebuild after disasters, fighting hunger, providing donated moving and storage services and more. Following the Eaton and Palisades fires, the company worked alongside relief organizations to store and deliver donated furniture and essential household items to displaced families. Its annual Let’s Send Hunger Packing food drive has helped provide more than one million meals over 14 years through the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
