Movers Giving Back

Veteran’s Day is a time to honor the courageous men and women who have proudly served our country. Unfortunately, many veterans are experiencing tough times and need the help of local shelters. As the “Movers Who Care®", TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® aims to provide critical assistance to local veterans in crisis with a program called Movers for Military® – a collection of essential items that will be delivered to veterans living at local shelters during Veteran’s Day. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Chico plans on partnering with local businesses, schools, and companies to collect items and then donate them to local shelters on or around Veterans day. 

This campaign wrapped up December 20th! We thank all of the following organizations and businesses that participated 

So far we have partnered with 

• Ike's Sandwich Shop 
• Scuba Hut 
• American Cancer Society
• Superior Thrift 
• Nutrishop Forest ave 
• MOD Pizza 
• Show Love Thrift 
• Madison Bear Garden 
• CAVE CSUC

With all of their help, we were able to donate over 600 items to the Vectors Veterans Home of Chico and the Chico State Student Veterans!

Our team helped with the Oxford Suites remodel, for its hotel renovation. We moved furniture from the Oxford Suites to Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which includes couches, beds, dressers, lamps, mirrors, chairs, entertainment centers and desks. This day took 6 trucks, 12 men and 9 hours of moving! TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® has donated our moving services.

Mercy Foundation's Home for the Holidays, recognizes how important hospice is in allowing patients to remain in their homes surrounded by loved ones and also acknowledges that we will be unable to gather for a beautiful gala this year. This fundraiser will take place during the entire month of November which is National Hospice Month and will support all three hospices. Thank you so much for your in-kind donation of Moving Labor and Moving Trucks for Delivery of Christmas trees to support the Hospice program at Mercy Medical Center Redding.

Hospice relies on community support to fund services for patients with little or no health insurance. Care is primarily based in the home, allowing patients to live out their final days with dignity, free of suffering, at peace, and surrounded by those they love. Your donation helps relieve many Hospice families of financial stress during their time of need.

We hope you share our joy in knowing that your support keeps the Sisters of Mercy's mission alive!

We are working with the committee that is planning the Paradise High School's Prom to help collect dresses for those who cannot afford them. If you have formal dresses that you no longer wear, consider donating them so that a girl can have her dream prom. You can drop off dresses to our Chico office during our normal business hours until March. 

We are looking for a variety of styles and sizes, we only ask that dresses must be: clean, free of stains, and free of rips or tears. 

Consider donating today!

UPDATE

We are currently looking for Hair Dressers and Makeup Artists in the Chico area that are willing to volunteer their time to help these young men and women get ready for prom. If you are interested please email Addison.Bedford@twomen.com
