ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2024 / 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:
