Moving our Community Forward

Support Local Families in Need Through MOVERS FOR MOMS®

This season, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Northbrook is proud to partner with WINGS Program, Inc., the largest domestic violence agency in Illinois, to support women and families rebuilding their lives after abuse. Through this initiative, we’re helping provide safe housing, food, and essential resources that empower survivors to regain independence and stability.

We’re actively working with local businesses, organizations, and the Northbrook community to collect donations that go directly to families in need—and there are several easy ways to get involved:

• Donate online:

• Drop off donations in person:

• Become a collection partner:
  We’re inviting local businesses and organizations to host a Movers for Moms® donation box at their location. Our team will drop off and pick up the box at the end of the campaign (around May 8), making it simple to support your community while increasing local engagement.

Every contribution helps provide comfort, stability, and hope to women and families right here in our community. Join us in making a meaningful impact through Movers for Moms® with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Northbrook. 

We’re excited to share that our Movers for Mutts® campaign, which ran from mid-October through December, was a huge success—collecting a total of 1,089 donated items for Border Tails Rescue, a no-kill animal shelter in Northbrook! 

This campaign brought together our community to help provide much-needed supplies and comfort for dogs waiting for their forever homes, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our community partners:

• Northbrook Chamber of Commerce
• Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce
• Rover’s Place
• EVS Pet Urgent Care of Northbrook
• Doggy Daydream
• Pet Supplies Plus – Morton Grove
• PetSmart – Northbrook
• Club Pilates – Glenview
• Glenview Grind
• Christian Heritage Academy

We’re truly grateful to every business and individual who participated and donated. At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, giving back to the community and supporting organizations like Border Tails Rescue is something we’re proud to be a part of!

Seeing the Chicago River turn green for St. Patrick's Day is fun, but have you ever seen the Chicago River turn yellow with over 60,000 rubber duckies? What we love most about this event is the proceeds from each rubber ducky benefit Special Olympics of Illinois. Each August we help transport and set-up the equipment for this wonderful event, and then we get to spend time with some of our favorite athletes and watch as a truck dumps the rubber duckies into the river. 

We partner up with the Salvation Army of Des Plaines around the Holidays to help with their Angel Tree Program. Not only do we participate in the program and buy presents for children in need, but at the end of the program, we visit each collection site and pick up the presents that have been collected and deliver them to the Salvation Army.

When our customers are getting ready to move and realize they have extra non-perishable food items they would like to donate, we give them a box marked with a "Move For Hunger" sticker that can be filled with food donations. AT the end of the move, our movers make sure to bring the Move For Hunger box back to the office with them so the food donations can be given to our local food pantry to help those in need. Last year we donated 590lbs of food to Move For Hunger! That's enough food to provide over 490 meals to those in need.

Cheeriodicals provides meaningful team-building opportunities with a purpose. Teams assemble bright green boxes of cheer to be delivered to hospitals. During the pandemic, Cheeriodicals has coordinated virtual team building activities with a focus on gifts for frontline heroes. We recently delivered a variety of Cheeriodicals to local Heroes. These deliveries included duffel bags for Veterans at VA Hospitals, Hospital bags for hospital heroes such as nurses and doctors, and face masks for other heroes working on the front lines. We appreciate all of their bravery and hard work, and we were honored to have the opportunity to show them our appreciation. Thank you, frontline heroes!
