“In 1997, AMWAT was founded when two college sweethearts began helping their friends move .
 
“Well twenty-three years later, this small business has grown to provide moving services, warehousing and storage primarily for clients in the Tallahassee area.
 
“Their professionalism, excellence, and community involvement has earned them multiple local and industry awards.
 
“Like so many of Florida’s small businesses, they stepped up to support its community during the coronavirus pandemic.
 
“They ensured that their employees, and their families, were financially stable and had access to helpful Tallahassee-area resources.
 
“Additionally, they donated funds to Second Harvest of Big Bend and Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.
 
“Recently, AMWAT was approved for a Paycheck Protection Program loan.
