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!
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

Remedies Renewing Lives offers case management, education, advocacy, and emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence. The domestic violence shelter at Remedies is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and all domestic violence services are free.
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.

(Video starts out with the title "Moving Tips" displayed across the screen)
(Video cuts to a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Franchise Office Manager with a moving truck in the background)
When you're moving, you kind of have boxes all over the place.
I always recommend to have a clear path.
And if you want it to go faster, put a clear path
(Video shows a mover carrying a chair down a customer's hallway in their house)
and put the boxes towards the door.
That way they can just grab them and go.
(Video cuts to a mover with a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK moving truck in the background)
Being prepared, It's so many times we've, we've gone into customer homes where they weren't ready.
Like, you know what I mean?
Don't get me wrong, It's hourly,
(Video cuts to a franchise moving truck backing up)
but we're here to try to make you better in there.
(Video cuts back to mover)
But it's like we've come to some that they look like they just woke up that morning "Like, hey, I'm, I think I'm gonna move today" like, you know?
(Video cuts to the Warehouse Manager of the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Franchise)
Get a big sharpie, label every box and what room it's going to go into.
(A mover is shown unloading a loaded up MOVING TRUCK)
You're moving into a multi-family home, make sure that, you know, everything's labeled on what floor, whether it's going to an attic, to a basement, to
a kitchen, to a first bedroom, a second bedroom,
(Video cuts back to warehouse manager)
make that plan and have it all down on a piece of paper.
It will make your life a whole heck of a lot easier.
(Video cuts to operations manager)
Be honest on your estimate.
And then you get there and like, oh surprise, we got three more rooms.
We'll get it done, but it's nice heads up.
(Video cuts to an In-Home Estimator)
No loose items. So try and have everything boxed up, packed up, taped up.
The more organized you can be, the better your move goes.
(Video cuts a move manager)
You be ready and we're ready.
(Video and music end with the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK word logo and the video title "Moving" below it.
(Video starts out with Ukulele music in the background with three movers carrying boxes out of a customers home. The video title "Selecting a Moving Company Two Men And A Truck" is displayed on the screen)
(Video cuts to an interview of a customer service representative for a local Two Men And A Truck franchise.)
So finding a moving company can be difficult because moving is a very stressful situation.
A lot of times it comes, um, very unexpectedly.
Um, so they have to make, um, a very quick decision.
Um, and sometimes it's not the most informed, um,
and those that can make it very difficult.
(Video cuts to a Two Men And A Truck operations manager sitting at his desk)
Being able to move, you're, you're moving your whole life, you want to be able to make sure
whoever you choose can do everything you need, whether that's, you know, getting rid of any items you don't want anymore,
whether they can move every item that you have, you know, some moving companies may not be able to move certain things.
So a lot of people wanna be sure they choose a moving company that, you know, they could fully trust.
(The title "Guaranteeing security with your movers" displays on the screen for a few moments)
(Video cuts back to the customer service representative)
A reputable Moving company is usually licensed, bonded, and insured.
(Video cuts to a moving truck with the back opened)
(Two Movers carry a couch into the back of the moving truck)
Um, which basically means we're, we're registered with the state or, um, that we're operating in as well as, um, if someone were to get hurt on the job, the homeowner is protected
by our license and bonding.
(Video shows an employee typing on her computer)
Online reviews definitely have a, a very big effect on, you know, your, your business.
(Another employee using their computer)
So whenever I'm looking to go buy something online.
(Video cuts back to employee typing on her keyboard)
I'm, I'm, you know, looking at the reviews first and seeing what, what other people have said about, you know, set product or company.
(Video cuts back to operations manager sitting at his desk)
So you definitely wanna be able to take care of people where you can.
So, you know, you have those overwhelming positive reviews.
(video then shows the title "know what your paying for")
(Video cuts back to the customer service representative)
Two Men And A Truck deposits um are usually pretty low, um in terms of the total move cost.
(One mover is setting up orange in the road behind the moving truck)
And then they, for the most part are refundable up until a certain point.
(video show a mover carrying a wheel chock)
Um And they're applied to the move total.
(Video cuts back to the customer service rep)
They're not an additional fee.
(Video cuts to the title "Communication during the move process)
(Video cuts to the operations manager)
Communication is very important during the moving process.
(Customer service rep answering the phone)
Uh A lot of customers have, you know, they're always gonna have questions
that come across, you know, during the move.
(Video cuts to a moving truck driving in a parking lot)
And sometimes they're wondering if, you know, guys can take extra items and maybe the guys aren't quite sure.
So they'll be able to, you know, reach out to us and ask us if you don't have a good communication to start in the day, then things get kind of confusing.
(Video cuts to an interview of one of the movers)
Um for instance, for addresses and things like that or like even getting like carpet shield down for them just to make sure that their homes protected.
It's not um it's not a good thing to have them in the, in the dark about things.
It's good to be as open as you can with them and be as comfortable as you can with them just to kind of get them through the Day.
(Video ends with a call to action and the Two Men And A Truck logo and tagline "Movers Who Care")
