Our Peoria Community

Pictured above, is our team dropping off donations to Center for Prevention of Abuse and Dream Center Peoria during our Movers for Moms® campaign in 2025. This is one of the charity campaigns we run every year. We had the opportunity to donate essential care items to two locations; Dream Center Peoria and Center For Prevention of Abuse. We take pride in giving back to our community through various charity campaigns, as well as working with local non-profits to provide services they might need. We truly are your Peoria MOVERS WHO CARE®! 

What is Movers for Moms® ?

Movers for Moms® is a nationwide community initiative created by TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® to support local moms in need, especially those living in shelters due to domestic violence or homelessness.

Each year, leading up to Mother’s Day, local TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® locations partner with schools, businesses, and community organizations to collect essential care items. Items that we take for granted; such as toiletries, clothing, and baby supplies. These donations go to women and families facing challenging circumstances. This year we gathered donations from our community and donation partners, then delivered them to Dream Center Peoria and Center for Prevention of Abuse. Donating to Movers for Moms® is a great way to support mothers and families in need in your community. 

Many mothers in shelters have escaped domestic violence, homelessness, or other hardships. Donating provides these mothers with essential items they don't have access to at this time. By supplying essential items, we help ease their burden, which allows them to focus on rebuilding their lives. Every donation counts, and we are so thankful for everyone that donated. 

Donation partners: 

• Lulu's On Main in Morton
• Leaves 'n Beans Coffee in Peoria Heights
• Leaves 'n Beans in Morton
• Lippmann's Furniture & Interiors in Peoria

Our Peoria team takes great pride in giving back to the community, and our MOVERS FOR MOMS® campaign is especially close to our hearts. This initiative allows us to support local moms and families in need by collecting essential care items for them.

As Mother's Day approaches, we deliver these much-needed items to Dream Center Peoria and Center for Prevention of Abuse. We want the women and families receiving the donations to feel supported and cared for. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference, and we deeply appreciate everyone who helps us gather these vital supplies. Together, we can uplift those in need and make a lasting impact!

MOVERS FOR MUTTS® is our annual fall collection drive with the objective of providing animals living in shelters with necessary items. TAPS No-Kill Animal Shelter will be the recipient of all of the donations we receive. TAPS gives homeless animals hope. They provide shelter to animals in need of a home. They also match these animals with loving people to help them find their forever home! We believe these animals deserve love and care just as much as our loved furry friends at home! Any donation you give will go directly to TAPS Shelter. We would love to have your support for this year's efforts to help the animals at TAPS! If your business, place of work, or organization would like to donate or serve as a collection drive partner please email Angelica at Angelica.Post@twomen.com. We will have various donation drop off locations. Simply stop in at one of the donations drop-off locations and place the donations in our MOVERS FOR MUTTS® moving box!

Our MOVERS FOR MUTTS® campaign in 2017 was a huge success! SAMS animal shelter ended up receiving over 200 items. Those include food, beds, treats, toys, office supplies, etc. The furry friends at SAMS were VERY pleased with all of their new goodies! Thank you to all of our partners that had donation boxes at their locations and to everyone who donated! SAMS is always accepting donations and has so many furry friends you are able to adopt! Go stop by SAMS to find your new best friend or just to drop off some pet supplies!

 

The mission of the Center for Prevention of Abuse(opens in a new window) is to "help all people – women, men, and children – live free from violence and abuse.". They have grown from a single rape crisis hotline started in 1975 to a highly respected statewide leader in working to end abuse and break the cycle of generational violence. Additionally, they are the only agency in Illinois sanctioned to provide domestic violence, sexual abuse/assault, human trafficking, adult protective services, and preventative education under one roof. The best thing about this is that all of these services are provided completely free of charge!
