Making a Difference
Since 1979, the MoveIt Companies have shown a consistent dedication to making a difference in the communities where we live, work and do business. We firmly believe that those who succeed should give back to their communities.
We support those in need by sponsoring numerous local and national non-profit organizations. Our employees and their families are active partners in these endeavors by volunteering their time and giving generously to make a positive difference.

American Cancer Society - Relay for Life
Since 1994 we have sponsored a Relay for Life team to raise money for the American Cancer Society. In 2004 those efforts took on a greater meaning when two of our co-workers lost their lives to cancer. Today our efforts are dedicated to their memories. In 2009 our county raised the most money, per capita, of any Relay for Life team, and our team was awarded the Spirit Award.

Environmental Stewardship
We have always had a strong commitment to both the local and global environment - from underwriting the construction of a local conservation education center, to building a new, sustainable, state-of-the-art office building. We have sponsored a local countryside trail for walking and biking, planted trees, and supported nationwide conservation groups.
Our paperless initiative started in June of 2005. MoveIt developed a paperless initiative to reduce paper usage. Steps planned included, development of an electronic order system, use of a document scanning system and digital filing system. By March 2010, overall paper usage was reduced by more than 60 percent.
- Raccoon River Watershed Association Air and water quality are very important to us and we are active in the RRWA, a group committed to improving the water quality of the Raccoon River Watershed.
