HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK locations partner with local businesses, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Polk County has participated in the annual Movers for Moms® campaign since its inception in 2007. We partner with local businesses, schools, and other organizations to collect essential care items, such as soap and shampoo, for women staying in domestic abuse or homeless shelters. Once all donations are collected, our move teams pick up and deliver the items to Peace River Center Victim Services in time for Mother's Day. If you are interested in becoming a collection center, please contact marketing0234@twomen.com(opens in a new window).
United Way of Central Florida is focused on seeing that more of our young children are ready on the first day of school to claim a quality education; and that families have access to the financial tools necessary to manage their income and support themselves through life, to retirement. And we're committed to supporting individual decisions that produce good health.
In 2015, the Marine Corps Reserve Polk County Toys for Tots provided new, unwrapped toys, books, and stocking stuffers to 8,375 local children in need. As an all-volunteer organization, everyone who donates time becomes an integral part of the program. Toys for Tots appreciates the community spirit and the help provided by TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Lakeland!
The mission of the medical and community volunteers at LVIM is to provide free, high quality outpatient medical, dental, and mental health care to the working and uninsured of Polk County in a compassionate manner.

LVIM also helps to reduce inappropriate emergency room visits and strives for a healthier community by providing services the working and uninsured would struggle to attain elsewhere.
In addition to Primary Care, LVIM has many specialists volunteering their time at LVIM or in their offices, in the areas of Asthma, Cardiology, Chiropractic, Pediatrics, Dermatology, ENT, GI, Dental, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology and Optometry, Physical Therapy, Podiatry, General Surgery, Vascular, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and Women’s Health. In addition, LVIM leverages every available community resource to provide vital tests or procedures that LVIM patients may need.
