For over 85 years, trusted moving company AMJ Campbell has excelled in ensuring smooth transitions, whether it’s a local move or a global one. Beyond their proficiency in making moves effortless, AMJ Campbell holds a deep commitment to a cause that’s truly dear to their hearts: Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada. AMJ Campbell’s annual initiative, Move Month, is leaving a profound impact on the lives of young people and families affected by the child welfare system.

Move Month’s impact:

Since 2019, AMJ Campbell and Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada have partnered for Move Month, which takes place each October. For every move or home delivery in October, AMJ Campbell donates part of their proceeds to Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada. These funds enable Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada to implement high-impact programs, addressing the specific needs of children and youth in government care, families at-risk of entering child welfare and youth transitioning out of care.

The impact of Move Month is incredible. In 2020, $70,000 was raised, and in 2021, it grew to an impressive $100,000. Last year in 2022, $130,000 was raised! These funds make a positive change in the lives of children and youth involved in the child welfare system. Support is directed at strengthening families to ensure fewer children grow up in government care and empowering children in care through education, providing tutoring, technology access, and funding for essential needs. Support also aids youth transitioning out of care through vital support in education, employment, housing, and basic needs, enabling them to build independent, successful lives.
