At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we believe moving can be more than just a change of address. Through our Movers For Meals® program, we're working to alleviate hunger in our community. Moving often means leaving behind perfectly good food. Instead of letting it go to waste, donate it to those who need it. When you move with us, simply tell your team you'd like to donate your unopened, non-perishable items. We'll collect them and deliver them to our local food bank, helping families facing food insecurity. Join us in making a meaningful impact, one move at a time.
