TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Campaigns
Movers for Meals®
Movers for Meals® is a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® community initiative focused on addressing food insecurity through local partnerships. When the program is active, our Jacksonville team works with schools, volunteers, and community organizations to help collect and transport donated food items.
Past Movers for Meals® efforts in the Jacksonville area have included supporting organizations such as Pie in the Sky, helping ensure food donations reached individuals and families in need. Each campaign reflects the needs of the community at that time and the partners involved.
Past Recipients
HELPING HOMELAND HEROES. We are honored to select the Veterans Council of St. Johns County as our October MOVERS FOR MEALS® recipient. Our food donation was given to the homeless veterans during the Veteran’s Council's annual Saint Johns County Homeless Stand Down event at the Elks Lodge #829 on Saturday, October 8th. We combined our Movers for Meals food donation and delivered donations to these brave men and women who have served our country. A special thanks to our MOVERS FOR MEALS® partner, Winn-Dixie, for donating gift cards for each homeless veteran.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK chose Jim Dotson Foundation Inc.(opens in a new window) in Jacksonville as their August Movers for Meals® recipient. Jo Cheeser, President of the foundation, reached out when she heard about our MOVERS FOR MEALS® initiative. It was an easy choice for us to choose this amazing team who work tirelessly to help those facing food insecurity. The foundation was founded in 2018 by Jim Dotson, James Lenhart, and George Teigland to provide food and clothing to their Arlington neighbors in need. Dotson was 83 when he passed away last May. Chesser, Dotson's daughter, said their family established the foundation in his memory to continue his legacy of helping others. The foundation serves 300 families each pantry day (2nd and 4th Saturday of each month) and also serves a hot breakfast for those waiting in line to get much-needed food for their families. They serve retirees living on Social Security or other limited incomes, working mothers with babies or toddlers, disabled veterans, and people struggling because of illness, loss of a job, or the passing of a spouse.
Through their Pancake Ladies Ministry, they serve an amazing breakfast including pancakes, a bagel station, grits, sausage gravy, and biscuits, as well as conversation, time, and in many cases just lending an ear over coffee. This Jacksonville-based group in Arlington has made it a mission to feed, clothe and help neighbors and strangers experiencing hard times.
For more information about the Jim Dotson Foundation, or if you are needing assistance, call them at (904) 254-3099 or https://jimdotsonfoundation.com.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK chose Giving Hearts Ministry Food Pantry in Jacksonville as their July MOVERS FOR MEALS® recipient. Victory Celebration Church is a delightful little church with BIG HEARTS and BIG PLANS to help fight food insecurity in Jacksonville. Through their Giving Hearts Ministry Food Pantry, these hard-working folks help feed close to 150 people a month. Wanda, Director of Giving Hearts Ministry Food Pantry and Outreach Program, reached out to learn more about our MOVERS FOR MEALS® program and we were happy to support their efforts.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK chose Spirit of Life Lutheran Church food pantry in Jacksonville as their June MOVERS FOR MEALS® recipient. Gary and Jo Strysick have a passion for feeding the hungry. They have managed the food pantry at their church for a number of years and noticed that donations have dropped and the number of clients in need has increased. Jo reached out to learn more about our MOVERS FOR MEALS® program and we were happy to support their efforts. They go the extra mile by canning fruits and vegetables to avoid food waste.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK and Winn-Dixie jointly contributed over 1400 lbs. of food which provided over 1200 meals for women and children at Hubbard House, Betty Griffin Center, Quigley House, and Alpha Omega Miracle Home.
Surprising our friends at The Food Pantry of Green Cove Springs with two SUVs full of food with our monthly MOVERS FOR MEALS® donation during their annual Jack Graves Memorial Food Drive- PRICELESS Since 1989, The Food Pantry of Green Cove Springs has been providing Clay County with emergency food for families and individuals in need. They rely on food drives from local organizations to stock our shelves and donations from foundations, corporations, and individuals in the community.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK chose Homeless Coalition St Johns County as their March MOVERS FOR MEALS® recipient. The Homeless Coaltion provides innovative programs to assist the most chronic homeless families with children in Florida’s St. Johns County to get off the street and on the road to self-sufficiency. The Homeless Coalition provides a supportive services that benefit the surrounding West Augustine community. Many of the people living in the area are homeless and poverty stricken. ESHC determined that one of the most pressing needs was housing for homeless children and their single parents. Because no other agency or organization would do so, the Coalition took the lead and in 1999 purchased our first transitional shelter. In 2001, the Coalition purchased 12 houses on Chapin St. and in 2004 purchased three (3) houses on Nesbit Ave, and in 2009 built four (4) houses on Smith St. ESHC currently has 20 homes. An average of 14 families move to permanent housing each year. To learn more about E.S.H.C services visit their website https://homelesscoalitionstjohns.com/
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK chose Lutheran Social Services as their February MOVERS FOR MEALS® recipient after seeing their SOS for food donations on their Facebook page. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK donated 2,000 pounds of food which is nearly 1,700 meals for families facing food insecurity in the #firstcoast region.
Mandarin Food Bank. The volunteers at the Mandarin Food Bank were mighty happy when we began unloading much-needed food supplies. The Mandarin Food Bank's mission is to provide emergency food and clothing to those in need in the Mandarin Community. They are a ministry run entirely by volunteers. Did you know the Mandarin Food Bank also supports the local community through their Clothes Closet? If you're looking for a way to help others donating gently used clothes and shoes would be greatly appreciated!
