What is an Employment Social Enterprise (ESE)?

Have you ever wondered how companies can be profitable while also making a huge difference in their communities? That’s where the concept of Employment Social Enterprises (ESEs) comes into play, and it’s changing the way businesses operate for the better.

Breaking Down ESEs for the Curious Minds

In simple terms, an Employment Social Enterprise (ESE) is a unique kind of business. Instead of just focusing on making profits, an ESE aims to solve community challenges – like unemployment or underemployment. They create job opportunities, especially for those who might find it tough to get a good job due to various barriers.

Neighbor Moving’s Role as an ESE

In 2015, with the intention to make a bigger impact, Neighbor Moving was born as an ESE, alongside its siblings: Neighbor Cleaning and Neighbor Lawn Care. This initiative meant more than just business; it symbolized a commitment to the Raleigh community.

Neighbor Moving, specifically, offers top-tier moving services while making a significant difference. By choosing Neighbor Moving for your relocation needs, not only do you get a seamless moving experience, but you also contribute to a cause – ensuring that folks in our community have access to living-wage employment.

Every single employee at Neighbor Moving starts at an impressive $19/hr, irrespective of their background or prior experience. Plus, there’s an added benefit: all employees get access to supportive services through N2N, ensuring they have all they need to thrive in their roles.

Why Should You Care?

Supporting an ESE like Neighbor Moving means you’re doing more than just paying for a service. Your money helps provide and sustain living-wage jobs for those who need them most. And guess what? This doesn’t cost you a penny more than usual. It’s the definition of a win-win situation: you receive top-notch moving services, and you actively contribute to improving the community.

So, when you’re thinking about your next move in Raleigh, consider choosing Neighbor Moving. Experience excellence in service and be part of a change that uplifts the entire community.

Autumn Relocation with Neighbor Moving: Tips for a Flawless Fall Move in Raleigh!

Fall in Raleigh isn’t just about the breathtaking foliage or the crisp air; it’s also an ideal time to relocate. Moving in the autumn can be a rewarding experience with the right preparation and approach. At Neighbor Moving, we’ve had the pleasure of assisting hundreds in their fall transitions. Here are some expert tips to guarantee a seamless move this season:

  1. Benefits of Moving in the Fall: Unlike the sweltering summer or busy spring, fall offers a more relaxed atmosphere to move. There’s less demand, which often translates to more availability and flexible scheduling for your move.
  2. Dress in Layers: Raleigh’s autumn can be unpredictable. It might start chilly in the morning and warm up by noon. Wear comfortable, breathable layers to easily adjust to the day’s changing temperatures.
  3. Protect Your Belongings from Moisture: Fall can sometimes bring unexpected rain showers. Ensure that your items, especially electronics and valuables, are wrapped and protected from potential dampness.
  4. Use Fall’s Natural Beauty: Instead of bubble wrap or paper, use fallen leaves to cushion delicate items. It’s eco-friendly and adds a touch of fall to your packing!
  5. Check Your New Home’s Heating: Before the winter chill sets in, ensure the heating system in your new place is working correctly. Test it out a few days before your move.
  6. Daylight Savings: Remember, the days get shorter in the fall. Plan your move to maximize daylight, aiming to start early in the day.
  7. Hire a Trusted Moving Company: Neighbor Moving isn’t just any moving company in Raleigh. We’re a social enterprise dedicated to creating jobs with living wages for our community members. With a 5-star rating on Google, rest assured that you’re getting the best service.
  8. Understand the Charges: If you’re moving over 35 miles outside of Raleigh, remember that charges are based on weight and not the hour. It’s always best to clarify these details with us for a smooth budgeting process.
  9. Safety First: Autumn leaves, though beautiful, can be slippery when wet. Ensure walkways and driveways are clear of leaves to prevent accidents during the move.
  10. Stay Hydrated and Nourished: Even if the weather is cooler, moving is hard work! Keep snacks and water handy to stay energized.
