Every year we partner up with a local shelter to run our Movers for Moms® Program. This is our national cause-benefit program for mothers and their families who are in need and working to rebuild their lives. We work with local community partners to hold collection sites in order to collect essential items for the mothers and their children, just in time for Mother's Day. Once the items are collected and ready to go, We send out a team of dedicated movers to pick up and deliver the items to the shelter just before or right on Mother's Day. This is our way of saying thank you to all the amazing mothers out there! If you would like to be involved with our next Movers for Moms® program, please contact us! We welcome anyone to join us in our mission to provide the moms living in shelters a Happy Mothers Day.
As we began our search for local non-profits to work with, we came across the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program. After seeing the different ways they were supporting local veterans in need, we reached out to director Jim Lindenmayer to see if the organization could benefit from our services. He accepted our offer and since then, we have gotten the opportunity to build a great working partnership!
This organization does a lot for the veterans in the community, with one of those being the collection of donated furniture and re-homing it to veterans in need.
“In past years, we have attempted to do this ourselves with our volunteer workforce using a rental truck and other means of transportation, and it has been a tough program to manage in help connecting donors with Veterans in need,” Lindenmayer said. “Additionally, the cost for us to rent ad-hoc vehicles to pick-up and deliver furniture items and the time it takes for this process takes away from time we need to focus on taking care of our Veterans in need. We were just not good at this and were looking for a better solution.”
Anytime the Cherokee County Vets Program communicates an upcoming need of our service, all of our staff works together so we can get a team of our dedicated movers out to load, unload, and deliver all of the furniture needed. Since the partnership began, we have gotten multiple opportunities to assist in this process. It is truly our honor to in some small way contribute to what this organization is doing for the Veterans in our community. Our core purpose at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is to move people forward. We feel that when working with Jim and the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program, we are working towards fulfilling that purpose. As long as we continue to work together as a community, we will grow together as one!

When the Tranquility house reached out to us for assistance in their mission, it was a no-brainer. The Tranquility House is an amazing organization that works to provide emergency services and shelter to victims of domestic violence and their children. They work with victims to find their specific needs, all while focusing on their safety throughout the process. They make it their mission to empower and lift up these amazing men and women in need and help restore their life and give them a new beginning! By assisting them with relocations, it has given us the opportunity to give back in a small way and help move our community forward.
