Nonprofit opens 13 locations with Pittsburgh as its National Headquarters

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES, June 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Safe Moves for Seniors, a national nonprofit organization specializing in assisting economically disadvantaged seniors in downsizing, decluttering and moving at no cost, is excited to announce that it has expanded operations in 13 cities across the United States, making Pittsburgh its National Headquarters.

After attending the National Association of Senior and Specialty Move Managers Annual Conference in 2022, Founder and President Jill Yesko Diana announced she was interested in expanding the nonprofit beyond Western Pennsylvania. She was approached by several national move managers who expressed interest in joining her in this endeavor by starting their own chapters in various cities.

"Expanding our reach to 13 new cities is not just about physical locations, it is about reaching more seniors in need and providing them with the moving support they deserve,” said Yesko Diana. “Our mission at Safe Moves for Seniors has always been to preserve the dignity of our vulnerable population and this expansion is a testament to that commitment.”

Quincy, Illinois was the first location outside of Pittsburgh, followed by San Diego. And after three months of logistics, 13 locations were born, with five more in the pipeline. Each chapter has a service coordinator who locates and utilizes these critical services to seniors in their respective locations.

With Pittsburgh as the Safe Moves for Seniors National Headquarters, the 13 other locations are:
•Bergen County, New Jersey
•Buffalo, New York
•Columbus, Ohio
•Denver Metro, Colorado
•Denver East, Colorado
•Lakeland, Florida
•Las Vegas, Nevada
•Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
•New Market, New Hampshire
•Northern Illinois
•Quincy, Illinois
•San Diego, California
•Wooster, Ohio
