The Hilldrup Move-Up Charitable Fund
Hilldrup has been a part of the Fredericksburg community since 1903. Inspired by an article in The Free Lance-Star in 2018 about a family who lost their home, CEO and President, Charles W McDaniel created this fund to help local families move up in times of need.
Hilldrup is more than just a moving company – they understand they are moving people’s lives from one place to another, and a move can be just the first of many changes in a person’s life. Through the Hilldrup Move Up Fund, the company wants to help people move up into a more favorable situation so that they can begin other positive changes in their lives. They want to empower those people and families to hope for and expect better in their life, starting with a move up. The hope is that grants from the fund can provide a stepping stone to an even better future for people in need and their families.
The Hilldrup Move-Up Fund will provide support through several local nonprofit organizations that serve families who have housing needs but don’t have the resources available to address critical issues. Working with The Community Foundation and community nonprofit partners, Hilldrup will identify families who: are in a situation where funding would make a significant difference in the family’s life, where the funding or support provided will solve a problem of urgent or immediate need, or where funding will help the family maintain secure housing.
Hilldrup has a strong history of giving back, and each of their 10 branches has causes near and dear to them in the communities where they operate.
One of the six core Hilldrup values is Uncompromised Integrity, and employees are encouraged to do the right thing, even when no one is watching.
“Supporting the communities that support us is an important aspect of that and one in which we are proud to take part. We owe our success to the health and prosperity of the people and organizations around us.”
