Moving People Forward
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK was built on community service and it truly is a cornerstone for our brand. It is a very important part of how we do business. Our community and the people in it are the reason why we can run a successful business. We make it our goal to give back however we can. We have been very fortunate to find some amazing organizations over the last few years to partner with. Including the Center for Family Resources, Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program, FODAC, Encompass World Partners, KIDS CARE, The Tranquility House, and many more. We are always looking to help more organizations in their missions to give back to our amazing community. If you are a 501c3 charity in need of free moving services or free moving supplies, reach out to our General Manager, Kim Bishop at 678-368-4099. Whether it be organizational, moving inventory from one location to another, or a referral for a family in need, we would be honored to offer our services and in a big or small way help move our community forward. Community First!
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Marietta partnered with MUST Ministries for the second year to give back to our Cobb families in need. We're so glad to have worked with our awesome community partners in Optimus Real Estate Brokers, Atlanta Home Brokers, and Edward Jones.
Last year, our Marietta movers worked with Serenade Heights, YELLS, Inc., and Must Ministries during Movers for Moms®. We're proud to continue our partnership with these wonderful non-profits by using our resources to meet their needs. If your favorite non-profit needs help with an event or relocation process, please contact us. Check it more info, here.
Working with the Cherokee County Veterans Program over this last year has been amazing. We are so happy to have been given the opportunity to work with such an amazing organization and help in their process to relocate many veterans in need. We are very proud to end the year off by donating a car to their program which will be paid forward to someone in need. Big thanks to all they do to help move our community forward!
The Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program works to provide a 100% vetting process to our veterans in need. This includes supplying food, clothing, housing, help with relocation, and many other essential items and services. Their goal is to improve the homes and lives of U.S. military veterans and their families. They work with the community in order to collect donations and also to find the veterans in our community who need assistance. We are extremely proud to have gotten the opportunity to partner with them. Anytime their program reaches out to us, we get a very dedicated team of movers out there to help load and unload furniture for any donations or relocations they may have.
Our Veterans have done so much to fight for our country and freedom. Although we could never thank them enough, We are proud to be involved with this organization and in a small way, say thank you to the veterans in our community who gave so much for us all.

FODAC is a program that was started to provide durable medical equipment to disabled adults, children, and their families with little to no cost. They have provided wheelchairs, hospital beds, and many other medical-grade pieces so that they can help enhance the quality of life for people of all ages who may have a disability. Over time, They have gotten the opportunity to provide over 50,000 wheelchairs to families in need! There are so many people who are uninsured or underinsured. FODAC has made it their mission to support these families in any way that they can.
We have extremely proud to have partnered up with them to help deliver all medical supplies from the donors to their facility every week. This gives them the opportunity to focus more on finding individuals who need the equipment. FODAC relies on the support of the community and their donations of medical equipment. Click here to find out the different ways you can support FODAC and continue helping our community move forward.
We’re thrilled to partner with Kids Care this summer to help with their annual “Backing the Need” School Supply Drive! As a partner, we’ll donate a number of moving boxes for them to use for the event. The boxes will be placed at all five Cobb County Police Precincts where people can donate items such as new backpacks, school supplies, and non-perishable snacks for elementary, middle school, and high school-aged students in need of assistance.
Kids Care is a non-profit that was started by an 8-year-old girl and her mother. This young girl wanted to serve her community in a way that kids want to! So, they started to reach out to other kids, family, and friends, and that is where Kids Care was born. They work to create, support, and implement children’s and youth’s community service projects. The kids are the brains behind these projects. They get to decide how they want to contribute and help move the community forward. Kids care stands for Kindness in Doing Service and Connecting and Respecting Everyone. Head on over to their website to find out more ways to get involved.
If you want to learn more about this program and how you can get involved, reach out to our office or call Kids Care!

Every year there is an overwhelming amount of support from all of the local schools. Thank you to the Center of Family Resources for helping take care of our Cobb community.
