TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Campaigns
Movers for Moms®
We are thrilled to kick off our 2023 MOVERS FOR MOMS® campaign. A special thank you to 103.9 Wane FM and Vera Bradley for additional promotion and donations!
This campaign aims to collect essential care items for local mothers in need. These items include soap, shampoo and conditioner, toothbrushes, twin bed sheets, clothing, and hairbrushes. Our shelter recipient for these collected items is Charis House and St. Joseph Missions, which both serve women and homeless families with children by keeping them together in the crisis of homelessness.
A list of items for donation can be found here(opens in a new window). All items are recommendations, specific products are not necessary!
Your donations are greatly appreciated!
Truckload of Warmth
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Fort Wayne started partnering with other local businesses with the goal of supporting localfamilies in need of warmth during the cold winter season. The National Coalition for the Homeless states that 44% of the nation's homeless are unsheltered. During the month of November we are collecting gently used winter clothing and delivering it to a local charity to make a difference during the blistering cold winters in our community. Items can be dropped off during November at our local franchise and other collections sites during the month. For more information stay up to date on our social media sites or call our office.

To help support local families facing hunger crises around the country, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® - Fort Wayne hosts the Movers for Meals food drive year round. The Movers for Meals recieve additional focus between October and November, just before Thanksgiving. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® - Fort Wayne partners with universites such as University of Saint Francis and IPFW, local businesses, and food pantries such at Community Harvest Food Bank to collect non-perishable food items with the goal of putting more food on tables.
Local Partners
