We are grateful for our local Tuscaloosa community, which has supported us and allowed us to grow. In addition to this effort, we help Tuscaloosa Salvation Army’s annual project, Angel Tree, by picking up and delivering toys from different locations to be shipped to children in need just before Christmas. We also donate moving services throughout the year for many local charities. We look forward to assisting the Salvation Army with any other projects!
This fall, we had the opportunity to sponsor a wonderful organization, Bags of Hope. This nonprofit's mission is to "spread love, strength & hope to breast cancer patients one bag at a time." Founder, Elizabeth Baldo-downs, partners with locals to build beauty bags for breast cancer patients. She also executes fundraisers to provide donations to cancer centers. Elizabeth's goal is to "provide hope with bags of hope." This year, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Tuscaloosa was fortunate enough to become a gold sponsor for Bags of Hope's Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser! We cannot wait for future partnerships with this wonderful organization.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Tuscaloosa is proud to have partnered with Beat Auburn Beat Hunger for the 2024 Campaign! Each year, BABH launches a campaign to collect as many non-perishable items as possible. All donations go to the West Alabama Food Bank here in Tuscaloosa. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Tuscaloosa assists BABH with the donation pick up, weighing the total amount of food collected at the end of the campaign. In 2023, BABH was able to collect 326,644 pounds of food for the West Alabama Food Bank. In total, over 1 million pounds of food was collected between The University of Alabama & Auburn University. In 2024, BABH collected 431,120 pounds of food! Combined with Auburn, over 1 million pounds of food was collected during the campaign. We are honored to assist such a wonderful organization & look forward to the 2025 campaign!

Every year, Kentuck Arts host an art festival in Historic Downtown Northport, showcasing select vendors & independent artist on their creations! It is such a community-driven event, with local partners pouring in to make the event a success. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Tuscaloosa is a proud sponsor for the Kentuck Art Festival. Each year, our franchise donates moving services to the organization as they prepare for the upcoming festival. TMT is there to assist with the setup & tear down that any vendor might need. Kentuck Arts is a community-funded art center perpetuating the arts by connecting the community to the artist. We are happy to donate our services each year & cannot wait for the 2023 festival!
Every year, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Tuscaloosa partners with Tuscaloosa Tinsel Trail for its annual holiday festivities. We help set up event items (fencing, rebar, decorations) & offer one of our moving trucks for storage during the decoration week! Our movers come in with holiday spirit & provide the man power needed to set up & break down the Tuscaloosa Tinsel Trail. We are thrilled to contribute again for the 2024 year & cannot wait to see all the decorated trees!
Tinsel Trail is a project of Tuscaloosa's One Place, where local businesses sponsor a tree during the holiday season. Tuscaloosa's Government Plaza will be lit with 100+ live Christmas trees that are sponsored (and decorated) by local businesses, organizations, and individuals. Tuscaloosa residents are able to take a stroll around the plaza, admiring all the decorated trees during the Holiday season! Monday, November 25th is the Grand Opening for Tinsel Trail. Be sure to stop by to see all the trees!
Every year, United Way of West Alabama reaches out to local businesses in hopes of gaining sponsors for the organization.

This year we have full participation from our office staff as we try to maximize our donations. Thank you, United Way, for everything you do for the Tuscaloosa Community!
