Stafford, VA. (November 4, 2010) – Hilldrup Companies Raleigh-Durham, NC office is honored to be participating in Operation: Coming Home on Thursday, November 4, 2010.  Hilldrup is partnering with the Triangle Real Estate and Construction Veterans (TREACV) and the Home Builders of Raleigh/Wake County (HBA/RWC).  TREACV is a group of military veterans with representatives of all five military branches working in the real estate and construction profession in the Triangle area of North Carolina while HBA/RWC is the local home builders association in the area.  Hilldrup will be donating moving trucks, crews and all the moving resources needed to move an Iraq war veteran and his family into their new home.

Operation: Coming Home began in 2007 as a joint volunteer project led by the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County (HBA) and the Triangle Real Estate and Construction Veterans (TREACV).  One of the main goals is to give back to returning veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  This year’s recipient is USMC Sgt. Stan Roberts and his wife, Crissy Roberts.  They were selected in June to receive the 2010 Hero Home on behalf of Operation: Coming Home.  This Hero Home is built with features and options specifically designed for the needs of Sgt. Roberts.  This is the second installment for Operation: Coming Home.

For over 14 years, the Hilldrup Raleigh-Durham office has been serving the moving and relocation needs of the Triangle area’s families, corporations, and universities. Hilldrup provides moving and storage solutions to meet the needs of both domestic and international residential relocations.  Hilldrup also provides high-quality moving services to major corporate accounts and government agencies.  Hilldrup is the leading United Van Lines agent in the Raleigh-Durham area.  In addition to moving, they have a 40,000 sq. ft. storage facility to accommodate household goods, vehicles and commercial storage needs.  Hilldrup volunteers in many different community programs throughout the Triangle area working with the North Carolina Food Bank, the Triangle Relocation council and other programs that focus on giving back to the community.

“We are excited to be part of the second Operation: Coming Home program.  Our men and women in the military give so much to our country every day.  We are honored to do a small part in helping the Roberts family move into their new home.” said Joe Coffman, General Manager of Hilldrup Raleigh-Durham.
