Some frequently asked questions

What is MOVERS FOR MILITARY®?

MOVERS FOR MILITARY® is a collection drive led by TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®(opens in a new window) each fall to provide essential care items for our local homeless veterans. We team up with local businesses, schools, and organizations that hold their own collections of gently used clothing and personal hygiene items. To make participation as easy as possible, we provide collection boxes and materials and handle all pick-up and delivery of donations in time for Veterans Day. 

Who does MOVERS FOR MILITARY® benefit?

All donations are delivered to Veterans Village of San Diego(opens in a new window), which assists homeless veterans in San Diego County, including those struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health issues. These veterans include men and women who have recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan. 

How can I help?

We welcome additional collection partners to the MOVERS FOR MILITARY® drive, as well as donations from the public and customers.
