Idaho Falls Community Involvement
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Campaigns
Movers for Moms®
One of our most successful giving campaigns is a program called MOVERS FOR MOMS®. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK locations partner with various organizations in their communities to set up collection sites where people can donate essential care items, which are then donated to moms living in women’s and family shelters on or around Mother’s Day. This is an important cause for us, and we’re working on growing the reach of MOVERS FOR MOMS® each year to give back to even more moms who need it most.
CAMPAIGN UPDATE - FINAL COUNT
We are so thankful to the local community who supported our first MOVERS FOR MOMS® benefiting Bingham Crisis Center. We were fortunate to collect 651 items that consisted of food, personal hygiene, kitchen items, bedding, clothing and a $50 gift card and much more. We would also like to personally thank all the collection locations for their support in hosting collection boxes and conducting employee drives to contribute to supporting MOVERS FOR MOMS®

The Idaho Falls Animal Shelter is the municipal shelter that serves the residents of Idaho Falls and the animals within the city limits. Idaho Falls Animal Shelter is a nationally recognized no-kill shelter serving over 2,500 animals and the people who love them every year. The Idaho Falls Animals Shelter believes that a shelter animal’s mental wellbeing greatly decreases their time in the shelter by making them stand out to potential adopters. Shelters can be stressful places for animals. Enrichment items help alleviate boredom and anxiety, allowing animals to express themselves. A relaxed and happy animal is far more likely to attract interest and affection from potential adopters. Incorporating enrichment items in shelters not only enhances the lives of animals awaiting adoption but also significantly increases their chances of finding forever homes. By making these animals happier and more engaging, shelters can create an environment where both pets and people can connect.
“The IFAS team would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Two Men and a Truck for their generous offer to hold a food/enrichment item drive for our shelter,” said Tobin Bird, Idaho Falls Animal Shelter manager. “The interest in improving the lives of the animals in our care means so much and will truly benefit the animals and their future families.”
