This fall Olympia Moving & Storage worked with the Alzheimer’s Association to coordinate 10 Walk to End Alzheimer’s events throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. These walks are part of the world’s largest event to raise awareness of this disease and funds to fight it.
The Olympia Moving crew transported the event equipment to all locations, managed the set up and break down for all the walks, and assisted with event registration. Organizations enjoy working with our crew on event logistics because Olympia Moving crew aren’t just labor, they’re also friendly faces that interact with the event attendees, including Alzheimer’s patients, and reflect well on the organization.
This year’s walks were a huge success. Over 15,000 walkers participated and raised over $3 million for Alzheimer’s care and research. You can click here to donate to the Walk to End Alzheimer’s through October 31st. Olympia Moving & Storage was pleased to be part of these outstanding community events, and hopes to work on the Walk to End Alzheimer’s again next year.
Here are a few great photos of our crews at the walks:

2015 was our fifth year assisting with the B2VT ride event. Today the B2VT ride is a 130+ mile bike ride over hilly terrain from Bedford, MA to Okemo Mountian, VT. The B2VT ride started back in 2001 when a team of ambitious beer loving bicyclists wanted to ride from the Harpoon Brewery in Boston to the newly opened second location in Windsor, Vermont. After the long journey Team Psycho was met at the finish line with a keg or two and a good time, since than the bike team has grown and the event took a shape of its own.
This year Olympia provided 8 crew members, 6 trucks, and their hard work for the fifth year and enjoyed being a part of such a fun event. The Olympia team was responsible for the following;
When the riders arrived at the finish line, we took their bikes from them, pad wrapped them to protect these valuable bikes from damage, then transported them back to the start line for pick up.
Back at the start line, we collected the riders’ bags and then transported them to the finish line for distribution back to the riders when they finished their journey.
Stocked every rider rest area on the route with water.
The event organizers will thrilled with the service and posted on their Facebook, “These guys crushed it on Saturday transporting hundreds of bags to Okemo and nearly 450 bikes back to the start venue in Bedford. First class service.” Wrote one rider, “Thanks for taking care of my bike after the ride … No bruises!”

Undergrad and graduate Boston University students have headed home after finishing up the 2014-2015 school year and are now enjoying summer. That is our cue to start working! When the school is empty the university calls the professionals in to start the preparation of the dorm rooms for next year. With over 18,000 undergraduates at BU, you can imagine the work we had ahead of us!
Through the hard work of our experienced crew and moving coordinators, Olympia Office Movers efficiently moved all the old, unneeded dorm furniture to containers. The containers filled with old furniture are sent to a third-world where they will be donated for people who are less fortunate.
After removing all the old furniture we re-set all the beds and furniture to the default heights and their original set up, ready for the next round of students to occupy the rooms.
Olympia Moving helps others besides BU students make a summer move. We moved all the BU Resident Assistants, RAs, out of their Boston apartments to their newly assigned apartments for the following semester.
This is not the first time we have moved Boston University students. Olympia has performed many commercial projects for the university, assisted individual BU students with campus moves, and Olympia moves Special Olympics MA athletes in and out of the BU dorms for summer games. Clearly, Olympia Office Movers is very familiar with moving Boston area universities and college in the area!
Olympia Office Moves provided their local office moving services to the Christian Brothers Conference in Washington DC. This nonprofit organization provides programming and support for Lasallian mission and educators. To best accommodate our client and ensure the move was done efficiently and effectively we implemented a “shuttle” style move. A “shuttle” move consisted of 14 crew members and 3 trucks between each location. The trucks were going back and forth between the two locations loading and unloading furniture, filing cabinets, and electronics.
Having the right equipment and resources are essential for a successful commercial relocation. Our company prides ourselves on the training and resources available to complete a wide range of services for our clients. For the Christian Brothers Conference we packed up all the office furniture and filing cabinets as well as disconnected and reconnected all the technical equipment.
Our last step during a move is to follow up. We want to ensure that all the moves go smoothly before, during and after. The day after the move, 2 crews revisited the location to ensure that the client was settled in without any loose ends. We helped with re-arranging furniture to preferred positions, checking the quality of the move, and removing any final debris that was still at the move site.

Last week our Commercial Moving Division completed a move for a law office in the North End. Olympia helped the law office move to a new location in the Financial District and dispose old office furniture in their Boston MA law firm!
It may not have been a big office move, but nonetheless, we put our best efforts forward to assure a smooth, and stress-free transition for the law firm. Ten movers relocated the office and employees to their new location in January. A few weeks later; we had three movers and a truck return to remove old and unwanted office furniture and cubicles from the old location.
The three man moving crew broke down old cubicles and loaded them onto the truck along with the rest of the furniture and debris that needed to be disposed. The crew then transported the old cubicles and furniture to the salvage yard for disposal, leaving the old office clean and cleared for the new tenant!
Here at Olympia Moving & Storage, we provide moving services for both commercial and residential clients; no matter how big or small the move may be, it is always our goal to go above and beyond for our client, providing them with a stress-free moving experience!
It was an exciting weekend for athletes around the state as team Olympia pitched in to help with the Special Olympics Massachusetts Summer Games logistics. Our team, comprised of volunteers from the office and our crew, were kept busy performing free services for Special Olympics. Even company president, Michael Gilmartin, and VP of sales, Piet Gauchat, gave up their weekends to run the on-call logistics truck for the event. Olympia helped with every facet of the event’s logistics, including:
Matt Ruxton, Vice President of Sports for Special Olympics Massachusetts, said: “I wanted to say thank you for all that you did to make this past weekend such a success. It truly was a great weekend and we could not do it without your help. You guys are the ones who make the event possible and all the success is due to your hard work. ”
One of the local program directs said: “This was the most efficient / well run weekend during my 7 yrs. The check-in, buses, staging, awards, etc. all went well. overall a great weekend. Great job!”
Here are some pictures from the event. You can see more pictures in our Facebook album.

Olympia Moving & Storage is entering our second year in partnering with the Alzheimer’s Association of New England.
Each year the Alzheimer’s Association holds two great events – The Walk to End Alzheimer’s and the RUN TRI RIDE to End Alzheimer’s.
Our friendly Olympia crew is always well-received by both Alzheimer’s Association employees and volunteers as well as participants in their events.
We just completed the RUN TRI RIDE event a few weeks ago. Event coordinator Angela Floro had the following to say:
“Olympia Moving has been a tremendous partner with the Alzheimer’s Association fundraising events. In July, Olympia Moving helped with our Ride to End Alzheimer’s. This event is a one day cycling event and we had a record breaking year with 450 cyclists and we are entering our goal of $500,000! We truly could not have put on this event without Lou and his crew. They were outstanding in every way. Thank you for your support!”
We are looking forward to the Walk to End Alzheimer’s event next month in September. Events take place throughout New England. Please consider joining the event…and say hello to Olympia while you are there! http://www.alz.org/manh

Olympia Office Movers in Alexandria, VA recently completed a large hotel project on Fort Myer and are set to assist with a similar project on Fort Belvoir.

Services to the students included the pickup of their boxes direct from the dorms, which were then transported to our secured warehouse for the summer. When the summer winds down, we will be meeting each student with their boxes before the new school year begins.
Noted Georgetown University freshman Abagail C, “This service is great! I am from New Jersey and don’t have room in my Civic for all my items. I will definitely use Olympia again.”
At American University, Olympia assisted with the removal of old dorm furniture at Letts Hall. 120 rooms were cleared and prepped for a much-needed renovation this summer. All the furniture is destined for Haiti, where it will be used in schools, churches, and hospitals.
