Community Service in Livingston, Shiawassee Counties and the surrounding areas

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Campaigns

Movers for Moms®

Giving back to our community is a vital part of our business. Eight years ago we kicked off participation in TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®’s own program, Movers for Moms®. This program, which began with all Michigan TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchises, collects essential care items for mothers living in domestic abuse or homeless shelters around the time of Mother’s Day. By working with partners like Habitat for Humanity Restore, and Hands on Health Chiropractic in Brighton, Healing Souls Reflexology, Nature's Gateway, CGC Kinetico, Fountain of Youth, and Hartland Consolidated Schools, Hidden Springs Church, Beauchamp Water Treatment Solutions and Kelley Albrant with Edward Jones in Howell, we have collected thousands of items over the years to donate to the La Casa shelter in Howell(opens in a new window).

MOVERS FOR MILITARY®

As a way to show our appreciation to veterans past and present, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® hosts a Movers for Military collection drive to provide essential items to homeless veterans and their families living in crisis. This campaign kicks off each fall and ends on Veteran's Day.

Tragic statistics from the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans state that about one-third of the adult homeless population in the US is veterans. About 131,000 veterans are homeless on any given night, and over the course of a year approximately twice that experience homelessness. About 1.5 million other veterans are considered at risk of homelessness due to a lack of support networks and dismal living conditions in overcrowded or substandard housing.
