Armbruster Moving & Storage links moves to hunger relief and Alzheimer’s support

Armbruster Moving & Storage, a Brunswick-based Cleveland mover, has spent more than a decade donating unopened food from moving jobs and supporting local hunger relief. The family-owned company also fielded a team in Medina County’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s, tying its community work to the senior moves it handles every week.

Why it matters: - Armbruster Moving & Storage turns routine moving jobs into community aid, redirecting unopened food to local food banks and raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care and research. - The company’s work connects directly to two local needs in Northeast Ohio: food insecurity and the challenges facing older adults and caregivers.

What happened: - Armbruster Moving & Storage said it has collected unopened food during moves since 2012 and delivered it through Move For Hunger. - The company also entered a team in the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Medina County on Sept. 19, 2026. - The walk took place at Buckeye Woods Park in Medina, a few miles from Armbruster’s Brunswick headquarters. - Armbruster is a family-owned Mayflower agent based in Brunswick and serves Cleveland, Medina County and surrounding suburbs.

The details: - Move For Hunger was founded in 2009 by Adam Lowy and works with movers to collect unopened, non-perishable food during moves and deliver it to local food banks. - Armbruster said the program has helped provide more than 18,700 meals by 2022. - Customers pay nothing extra for the food donation process, and the added time is only a few minutes per move. - The company completed its first Move For Hunger truck wrap in 2022 as part of a broader Mayflower partnership. - Armbruster also helped host a truck pull at the Great Lakes Relocation Conference on Cleveland’s Flats East Bank in 2022 with the Greater Lakes Relocation Council and Move For Hunger. - About ten people per team pulled a moving truck 100 feet in the event, which raised more than 53,000 meals. - The Cleveland Police Department’s Fourth District team won in just under 15 seconds, and Armbruster’s crew finished third at 16.2 seconds. - The Greater Cleveland Food Bank served more than 404,000 people in fiscal year 2025 across Cuyahoga, Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, Ashland and Richland counties. - More than 80,000 people received help for the first time in that period. - The food bank estimates that about one in six people in its service area faces food insecurity. - Armbruster offers senior moving services, including downsizing help, coordination with retirement and assisted living communities and care for medical equipment. - The company said some senior moves are tied to Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. - Alzheimer’s Association 2025 figures show 236,200 Ohioans age 65 and older living with Alzheimer’s, or about 11.3% of that age group. - About 452,000 Ohio residents are unpaid caregivers. - The company has a 4.8-star Google rating across more than 300 reviews. - Armbruster’s headquarters is at 2800 Center Road in Brunswick, Ohio 44212. - The company said it has provided local, long-distance, senior and commercial moving, plus packing, storage and logistics, since 2001. - Armbruster said it has received Mayflower’s President’s Quality Award five times.

Between the lines: - Armbruster’s community programs fit the business model. Movers already enter homes, handle food left behind and work closely with families during major life transitions. - The Alzheimer’s walk also matches the company’s senior moving business, where moves often involve memory care, assisted living or downsizing after a diagnosis. - For families, the donation effort and senior-move focus turn a stressful service into something more personal and practical.

What’s next: - Armbruster is likely to keep using moving days as donation opportunities through Move For Hunger. - The company appears positioned to keep linking senior relocation services with Alzheimer’s-related community support as demand for those services grows. - Families planning moves can set aside unopened, unexpired food in advance and ask movers whether they participate in food donation programs.

The bottom line: - Armbruster Moving & Storage is using its daily work to fight hunger and support Alzheimer’s awareness, making community service part of the move itself.
