Community Service in the Western Suburbs

Here at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we take pride in giving back to the communities that have supported us since the beginning! Whether it be organizing drives benefitting local shelters, providing free local moves to non-profits, or volunteering time at community events, we are all in!

Some local non-profits that our franchises have given back to include Project Cure, Family Shelter Service, Hinsdale Humane Society, St Vincent De Paul Church, Sharing Connections, Share Your Soles, and Operation Care Package.

Our annual MOVERS FOR MOMS® community event will be happening soon! We LOVE giving back to our communities through this campaign that helps needy moms and their families! Our team distributes collection boxes and literature describing the items most needed by these families. Then our wonderful partners at businesses, schools, and organizations fill those needs with their generous donations. We then take the collected goods to organizations that distribute them to needy moms and their children.

Local Partners

HELP SAVE PETS, PLAINFIELD 

The shelter cares for abused, neglected and abandoned pets and finds compatable homes where they will thrive. Also a not-for-profit state licensed facility, it depends on donations and volunteer efforts such as ours to continue their good work.

HINSDALE HUMANE SOCIETY, HINSDALE

Based in Hinsdale, IL, the organization is a not for profit, volunteer society that finds homes for stray cats and dogs. Families that cannot fully adopt pets are encouraged to become foster volunteers. Once vetted, families are provided with all the food, medication and equipment to care for the animals during the short time they are within the family home. This enables the shelter to deal with the large amounts of homeless animals.

HUMANE HAVEN ANIMAL SHELTER, BOLINGBROOK 

The shelter aims to care for and place homeless pets with loving families. It also provides correct pet care education to these and other families. As a not-for-profit state licensed humane society, all money used in the operation comes from fundraising and private donations.
