We're once again hosting our national MOVERS FOR MEALS® program! This program aims to provide food and other essential items for homeless shelters leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday. We are donating all items collected to the Rockford Rescue Mission(opens in a new window). The mission focuses on feeding the homeless and those in need in our community. The past 18 months have been particularly hard on everyone but have disproportionately impacted low-income families and the homeless population.

Last year we were able to collect over 100 pounds of food and would love to beat that number this year! If you'd like to donate, you can stop by our office or any of the locations below. You can also give your items to your movers on moving day!

1. Dolphin Swim Club(opens in a new window) of Loves Park
2. Edward Jones Investments(opens in a new window) (Maren Sanders)
3. Image Lounge & Restaurant(opens in a new window)
4. Target on 173(opens in a new window)
5. Womanspace(opens in a new window)

Our program begins on October 18th and you can donate until November 17th.

If you're interested in serving as a collection partner for 2023's program, please contact Angelica at Angelica.Post@twomen.com

We are proud to partner with the Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity to provide free moving services to new homeowners during their 2019 build season. We love the work they are doing in our community, and are so glad to be helping Move People Forward® in a new and exciting way!

The Rockford Rescue Mission(opens in a new window) provides services to the homeless, near-homeless, addicted, and working poor in our community. They do this in various ways, but the most well known in their community meal program. A free, hot breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided every day to anyone in the community who needs it. They serve approximately 400 meals per day as well as offering special holiday banquets. They also offer both a Men's and Women's Crisis Center which provides safe shelter, food, and clothing, as well as life-skills training, community resources, and medical services to homeless people in the community. We partner with the Rescue Mission by donating food collected through our annual Movers for Meals® Program, as well as offering our moving trucks and movers free of charge to pick up large items community members want to donate.

We partner with the Kiwanis Club of Rockford every year for their annual Mum Sale. We transport over 300 mums from Janesville, WI to Rockford and help to unload them all on pick-up day. The proceeds from this fundraiser go directly to our local community. We're proud to partner with this amazing organization every year!

PAWS Humane Society is a volunteer organization completely supported by donations based in Rockford, IL. PAWS was founded in 1988 as a spay/neuter assistance operation and has since grown into a full-service humane society. Their mission is to promote, support and provide for the humane treatment and welfare of animals in Winnebago County and the surrounding areas. They work towards a day when there is a home for every pet, and domestic animals are no longer euthanized simply because they have no home. PAWS Humane society was the recipient of all donations collected for our 2018 Movers For Mutts® program.
