Idaho Falls Community Involvement

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.

This year, the Idaho Falls moving company is teaming up with local community partners to collect essential care items for Bingham Crisis Center and, for the first year, the Idaho Falls Rescue Mission. 

Fred Meyers is partnering with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK to host a one-day collection drive on April 18th from 9 AM – 5 PM at the 1555 Northgate Mile location. The community can drop off donations at the collection table (manned by our volunteers from Keller Williams) on the Homeside entrance to the store.

The Idaho Falls Rescue Mission (IFRM) has been providing help, hope and a future to those in need for over 25 years. IFRM provides wrap-around services for men, women and children in Eastern Idaho. IFRM offers a men’s shelter, women’s shelter, family shelter, recovery program, community closet, food pantry, commercial kitchen, dining hall, two community centers and a chapel. All resources are given at no cost and include shelter, meals, food boxes, case management, job skills training, transportation, clothing and much more. We provide a safe and sober landing pad and help people move from destitute to thriving. Some of the ways IFRM supported our community in 2024 are:

• 1,545 people helped
• 599 sheltered guests
• 47,711 meals served
• 9,673 clothing items given
• 20.484 safe nights of sleep
• 1,146 hours of case management
• 94,022 total resources and/or services provided

"Idaho Falls Rescue Mission is excited for the opportunity to team up with Two Men and a Truck to participate in their Movers for Moms 2025 campaign. Aligned with our mission to provide help, hope, and a future to those in need through the power and love of Jesus Christ, this campaign offers a meaningful way to honor and uplift moms living in shelters this Mother’s Day. By delivering small gifts to women who are victims of domestic abuse or homelessness, we are able to show them love and support. We are truly blessed to be a part of this campaign and are grateful for the chance to serve our community in this way."Tyler Perkins, Executive Director

• The BCC aided 361 clients, of which 290 were women and 98 were children.

• The BCC has a small Community Closet and Food pantry on site.  Both are open to any community members that have a need. Items in the Closet include bedding, clothing, housewares, and kitchenware.  We provided needed items to 233 community members last year, with 146 adults and 87 children assisted.  This is up from 157 individuals in 2023.

“Our community is unmatched in their willingness to provide help to others.  The success we had with the Movers for Moms initiative, alongside all the other support we have each year shows how this community thrives on giving back.  We are overjoyed to have been selected by Two Men and a Truck as partners for the Movers for Moms 2025.  The items donated assisted many people last year and we look forward to expanding that reach this year. Thank you, Two Men and a Truck, for all the good you provide this community.”-Dr Scott Smith, Executive Director

This year, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Idaho Falls is partnering with Albertsons; 1705 W Broadway Street in Idaho Falls to host a one-day collection drive on Friday, October 18 from 9.00 AM – 4.00 PM. The location will serve as drop off point for the collection of essential pet items

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.”

Marrow bones 

Bully sticks 

Pig ears 

Training treats 

Beef sticks
