JK Moving Services Ranked Among Largest Philanthropists in DC Metro Region, Helping Reduce Hunger and Protect the Environment
STERLING, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- JK Moving Services, a global moving, storage, relocation, and logistics enterprise, was again named a Top Corporate Philanthropist in the greater DC region by the Washington Business Journal. The company was recognized for its $377K in corporate donations in 2024 that largely supported efforts to end hunger through the nonprofit JK Community Farm. These investments placed JK Moving 28th among the region's largest companies and were part of the company's $4M overall donations last year, which also included the cash value of its land donations. JK Moving Services, a global moving, storage, relocation, and logistics firm, was again named a Top Corporate Philanthropist in the greater DC region for its charitable investments that help end hunger and protect the environment. 'We are a company rooted in service and stewardship, and our philanthropy embraces both our commitment to environmental responsibility and community engagement,' explained JK Moving Services CEO Chuck Kuhn 'By helping reduce hunger and increase access to healthy foods while preserving the land it is grown on, we know that our philanthropic investments are helping change lives and protect our planet. We are honored to be recognized again for this commitment by the Washington Business Journal.' Among JK's most significant contributions to community welfare and environmental sustainability is the JK Community Farm, a nonprofit it founded and continues to support. Spanning 150 acres, the farm cultivates over 50 varieties of vegetables, fruits, proteins, and herbs, and is the largest chemical-free nonprofit farm in the nation. The farm relies on thousands of hours of volunteer labor from the community, local companies, and JK employees to meet its goals. The farm's primary mission is to donate 100% of its produce to local food banks and pantries, including Loudoun Hunger Relief, Food for Others, Arlington Food Assistance Center, and DC Central Kitchen. Since its inception, it has distributed more than 1 million pounds of vegetables and protein to families facing food insecurity. Last year alone, the farm grew and donated nearly 250,000 pounds of fresh, organic produce and protein. In addition to donating the land, JK also conserved the farmland so that it will be protected in perpetuity from development. Over the past decade, JK Land Holdings—part of the JK enterprise—has placed more than 22,000 acres of its purchases—nearly one-third in the Northern Virginia region—into conservation easement, ensuring vulnerable vistas and habitats are preserved and protected for future generations. Examples include: 128-acre Loudoun riverfront property that was donated to NOVA Parks; 135-acre Westpark golf course in Leesburg that is being transformed into a park; 87-acre JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary; 56-acre Oakland Farm, a Potomac riverfront property; and 42 acres in St. Louis, one of Loudoun's first African American townships, to protect it from development. In line with this and as part of its focus on corporate social responsibility, 2024 also marked the completion of a critical milestone for JK: an enterprise-wide baseline carbon accounting that will further the company's efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment. JK, along with its sister companies CapRelo and JK Land Holdings, employs nearly 1,200 people—a majority of whom live in the Washington, DC metropolitan region. The company has won numerous awards, including being recognized in prior years by the Washington Business Journal as a Best Place to Work and Top Corporate Philanthropist. ABOUT JK MOVING SERVICES For more than 40 years, JK Moving Services – the largest independently owned and operated moving company in North America – has provided local, long distance, and global relocation services to a variety of commercial, residential, and government clients. Headquartered in Sterling, Virginia and voted Independent Mover of the Year by the American Trucking Association, the company maintains a full-time, professionally trained staff of relocation and move management experts committed to providing the highest level of customer care.
