Movers for Moms®

Our location strives to become an integral part of the local community in which we work and play every day. Through our national Movers for Moms® program, we partner with local businesses to collect cosmetic and care products for women living in shelters. Our collection efforts begin in early spring and culminate on Mother’s Day, when we present moms with personal care items and children’s supplies. It's an effort to make them feel special on the Mother's Day, and a community show of support during a difficult life transition.

Thank you to all of our incredible partners in 2021 for helping to bring joy to the moms at Orlando Union Rescue Mission: Star Child Academy, Art Originals, Circle K, Windermere Preparatory School, Scoot Around, Fed Ex, Mega TV, Tax Link, Tax Solutions, Minute Press, Lawyer Title Network, Fitness CF, and UPS. Contact us to learn more about the collection drive and to find a drop-off location near you!

Movers for Mutts®

At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK of West Orlando, we believe that every pet should be loved and cared for. We are thrilled to be entering our second year of Movers for Mutts®, our community campaign to benefit some of the smallest members of our community. Due to the ongoing pandemic, we are not organizing in-person events. However, we will find safe ways to collect supplies for the animals staying at Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando's shelters!  Contact us if you'd like to donate, or if your organization or business would like to help!

 

Movers For Meals Crew

Movers For Meals

Giving back to the community is one of TWO MEN AND A TRUCKS core values; So we have teamed up with local businesses in order to collect non-perishable food items for those facing hunger. We believe that no one should go hungry especially, during the holidays, and hope we can provide as many food donations as possible. As we wrap up our campaign we want to thank those who participated and hope to gain more participants next year! If you are interested in helping out feel free to reach out to our office.

Local Partners

Cheeriodicals(opens in a new window) is known for their " Big Green Boxes of Cheer". They have worked with many children's hospitals across the country. Cheeriodicals works with organizations to create team building activities where the sponsors come together to build the green boxes. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has partnered with this amazing organization and has helped Cheeriodicals throughout the US. We've been privileged to be part of this. We picked up the boxes and delivered them to Florida Hospital for Children. We love seeing the faces of the children as they receive these special packages! 

UCP of Central Florida

Grow a child's potential at UCP of Central Florida. UCP was founded in 1955 to help children with cerebral palsy and has evolved throughout its history to help children with any disability or developmental delay as well as children without disabilities. Today, UCP of Central Florida provides education, therapy, and support for children with and without disabilities through seven campuses across Central Florida. A few years our team moved their Seminole County school. Each year, we help them with their annual gala. We moved their auction items to this event and back.

Pathway Homes Inc.

They offer non-time-limited housing, however, when these individuals are ready to be on their own, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Orlando is there to move them. 

Walk for Winnie

On September 29, 2018, our TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Orlando West and neighboring franchises were a proud sponsor and charitable moving partner in this year's Walk for Winnie(opens in a new window). It was held at SeaWorld in Orlando. Over 2,500 families, NICU team members, and community partners came together to raise over $122,000 for the Alexander Center for Neonatology at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies. Our team helped moved to and from SeaWorld and had a booth with goodies for the participants. 

Drew Strochack, Development Manager at Orlando Health Foundation/Arnold Palmer Medical Center Foundation said, "Thank you to TWO MEN AND A TRUCK for sponsoring Walk for Winnie as well as supporting us through their charity move services. Their team was prompt, professional, and excited to support their community with this charity move. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK are truly "Movers who Care" and we are so grateful for their partnership!"

Youth Advocate Program of Orlando

The Youth Advocate Program (YAP) has been working in communities across the US since 1975. They aim to empower youth by assessing their situations holistically, assisting families to problem-solve and access resources, and by providing counseling and other support. The Youth Advocate Program of Orlando donates furniture to families who have been displaced by natural disasters, financial hardship, or other causes. Our team lends our assistance by moving the furniture into the families' homes. 

The Maker Effect Foundation

The Maker Effect exists to amplify the effects of makers in their communities. They run the MakerFX Makerspace(opens in a new window) in Orlando as well as Maker Faire Orlando(opens in a new window), and provide support those who want to bring the maker spirit to K-12 classrooms. Earlier this year, we helped out during Robot Ruckus, a battle bot competition. We're amazed at the fun and creativity makers bring to STEM, encouraging people to use their minds and have fun!

The Maker Effect recently stepped up to help health care workers during the pandemic. They put their lasers to work creating cutting and assembling 10,000 face shields. We were glad to donate boxes to help transport the shields to local hospitals.
