"Movers Who Care®"

Making a Difference for Moms in Need: TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®’s Movers for Moms® Campaign March 1 - April 3

At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, giving back to the communities we serve isn’t just a part of our mission – it’s a cornerstone of who we are. One powerful way we support those in need is through our annual Movers for Moms® campaign, a heartwarming initiative that aims to bring a little extra comfort to moms facing challenging situations. This year, we are partnering with the Women’s and Children’s Alliance (WCA) to collect essential items for mothers escaping domestic violence and sexual abuse. These women, often in the process of rebuilding their lives, face unimaginable hurdles, and a thoughtful gesture on Mother’s Day can make a world of difference. 

Community Collaboration and Support 

To maximize the impact, we have placed collection boxes at Treasure Valley Les Schwab locations, providing convenient drop-off points for community members eager to contribute. We are also fortunate to collaborate with major local employers like Micron and Idaho Power, who will host an employee only collection drives. This year, we are adding a new partner; VW Volkswagen, they will collaborate with our media partner - The River, X and Hank FM to promote the collection drive and hosted radio remotes at select Fred Meyer stores.

ABOUT THE WCA Women’s and Children’s Alliance(opens in a new window)

Since 1910, the WCA has provided safe housing for women in the Treasure Valley, Idaho. However, for more than 40 years, the focus has been narrowed to provide shelter and supportive services to individuals impacted by domestic violence and/or sexual assault. These services are provided at no-cost and span a four-county service area representing 30 percent of the population of the state of Idaho. In 2025, the WCA provided 22,618 free services including:

• 3,097 calls to its 24-hour hotline, 64% of which were domestic violence related.

• 10,229 safe bed nights in their secure shelter for women and children.

• 1,294 civil protection orders filed with the assistance of WCA Court Advocates.

• 2,426 counseling sessions provided by WCA Clinicians.

Two Men and a Truck has been a loyal supporter of the WCA for over a decade, not only by helping our team and our clients all year long but also putting on this incredible donation drive for us every spring. The moms who seek refuge with us have been through so much, and we are immensely grateful to Two Men And A Truck for affirming our promise that survivors will always be seen, believed, and cared for by their community.” Bea Black – CEO, WCA

This year, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, Boise is partnering with three Fred Meyer locations; Overland and Five Mile, and Franklin and Orchard, and Eagle Island Fred Meyer to host a one-day fill the moving truck pet food collection drive from 9.00 AM – 5.00 PM, These locations will serve as drop off points for collection of essential pet items. The collection drive is on September 19th. 

Pets are considered an important part of any family, but this fall, many pets living in animal shelters could use the community’s support in securing adequate amounts of food, toys, and everyday living essentials for pets in need of their forever home. The Idaho Humane Society is a leader in the national animal welfare arena and significantly supports underserved communities and rescues in Idaho and beyond by transferring animals to prevent unnecessary euthanasia for a second chance at life.  

The Idaho Humane Society Pet Food Pantry and Meals on Wheels for Pets programs are experiencing unprecedented demand. Treasure Valley households are encountering economic hardships like increased housing and food costs, and families are faced with heartbreaking options for feeding and maintaining their pet’s health and happiness. As a result, there has been an increase in surrendered pets at the Idaho Humane Society due to financial stressors. Pet owners report lower stress levels and better cardiovascular health, and many low-income or homebound individuals say their pet is their most powerful relationship.  

“Two Men and a Truck exemplify what it means to be a true community leader,” said Mareesa Rule, Director of Development and Stewardship. “Through their generosity, commitment, and hands-on support, they make a meaningful difference for the animals we care for and for the people of our community. We are honored and grateful to partner with a company that leads by example and invests so deeply in making our community stronger.”

Providing safe places for women to live has been at the core of our mission for over 100 years. The WCA started in 1910 as the Boise YWCA (Young Women’s Christian Association). It was established to provide a safe place for young single women to live, eat, and socialize. In addition to room, board, and other basic services, the YWCA offered classes, camps, and community service opportunities to Boise women for decades.We are a proud sponsor and corporate pillar of the WCA. We handle all of their logistics and moving needs.

St. Vincent de Paul Southwest Idaho is made up of nearly 700 volunteers and a few staff members to directly help tens of thousands of our friends and neighbors throughout Southwestern Idaho. Their work here is built around the core value of the Society; the home visit.

When someone calls one of the helpline numbers throughout Southwest Idaho, they are accessing a system that has been in place since 1833 when our founders started going to the places where the poor lived to meet them, listen to their needs and offer understanding and the physical support available. In addition to the helpline, St. Vincent de Paul Southwest Idaho operates seven thrift stores, five food panties, a dining hall, a prescription assistance program and seasonal programs as well.

To qualify an individual must be at least 18, live in Ada or Canyon counties, have a terminal illness, and have not had a wish from another wish organization. We are a proud sponsor of Wish Granters.
