Our Peoria Community
Pictured above, is our team dropping off donations to Dream Center Peoria during our MOVERS FOR MOMS® campaign! This is one of the charity campaigns we do every year. This year we had the opportunity to donate 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 MOVERS WHO CARE®!
Our Peoria team always loves to give back to the community. Our MOVERS FOR MOMS® campaign is a big deal to us. During this campaign we collect items for local moms in need. After a few months of collecting donations, we deliver the essential care items to the selected shelters just before Mother's Day! We aim to get as many donations as possible. These donations mean a lot to the women in need, and we appreciate everyone who helps us collect donations! If you would like to donate please contact our office or email Angelica at angelica.post@twomen.com
We are always looking for new ways to serve our community! If you know of a local charity that would benefit from partnering with us please send us their information.
Featured Community Service
Movers for Moms®
Each Spring, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® collects donations to be delivered to a local domestic violence shelter leading up to Mother’s Day as part of our Movers for Moms® program. The purpose of this program is to recognize moms living in shelters this Mother’s Day by arranging delivery of small gifts for women who are victims of domestic abuse or homelessness. This year we are collecting donations for Dream Center Peoria and Center for Prevention of Abuse.
Why a collection for moms?
Our company was started by a mom, has women in key leadership roles across the country, and some of our most successful franchisees are women, so the idea for Movers for Moms® came to us naturally.
How you can help:
- If you have items you’d like to donate, please give them to your movers during your move, or feel free to drop them off at our office.

Center for Prevention of Abuse
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!
