Giving back to the community

Building Beds 4 Kids is a charitable organization that utilizes an all-volunteer staff and workforce to build and distribute beds for children in Southeast Michigan. A few times of the month, we pick up these handmade beds and deliver them to deserving families in the area. Their smiles bring joy to our lives. We love to provide this service for such an incredible charity! 

FLEECE & THANK YOU is a charity that TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® has recently joined in March to help comfort kids in hospitals. Fleece & Thank You has a mission to "provide connection, comfort, and hope through its innovative programs, services, and materials to children facing illness and their families supporting them." Our franchise helps gather homemade fleece blankets and deliver them to children in need of some extra comfort. We love to be able to help comfort those children and their families that are going through a tough time. Our support will be always available for them.

MOVERS FOR MOMS® is a program that TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® started in 2008 to help collect essential care items for women living in homeless shelters or domestic violence victims.  Our office collects items from early March until Mother's Day.

This year we have partnered with the local charity "All Things Women" for the third year in a row. We have a lot of wonderful businesses and churches that are collection sites for all the amazing donations we will receive this year. Wish list items include but were not limited to soaps, lotions, shampoos, personal hygiene items, diapers, wipes, bedsheets and anything you believe will make mom feel special on Mother's Day! You can find a drop-off location by going to https://twomenandatruck.com/movers-for-moms and searching an area near you! This year, "All Things Women" has relocated to a new building, allowing them to go from 22 beds to 62 beds. This new facility will allow them a larger safe haven for the families they bring into their home, giving them a better opportunity to grow and begin their next chapter in life. If you are interested in helping sponsor one of these new 62 bedrooms, you can do so @ Room Sponsor. We are so excited to be partnering up with All Things Women again this year. 

Last year our community among all TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® locations collected the most items we ever had in the past with a total of 443,861 donations. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® could not have done this event without the help of our community and we want to thank all those who donated or spread the word of this wonderful cause.

TWO MEN  AND A TRUCK® hosted their first "Stuff a Truck" event for MOVERS FOR MILITARY®. This year we have partnered with Kroger and Southwest Solutions to collect essential care items for U.S. Veterans in need. Southwest Solutions mission is to provide their communities with equitable access to health, education, self-sufficiency, and wealth accumulation opportunities. All items collected will be given out to our Veterans on Veterans Day as we take the time to give back to those who have served us. Thank you to everyone who helped donate to our cause. 

We are proud to support the yearly Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. It is held annually at Hart Plaza every October. It is our pleasure to transport all the essential items to put this event on.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Detroit is proud to support the Purposeful Youth Detroit Million Shoe March. Each year, they collect new and used shoes and person hygiene items before giving them away to children in need throughout the city and surrounding cities in Wayne County at the end of September. The “Soles in Need” program helps put shoes on less fortunate children, one foot at a time. We are proud to be a party of this charity event by helping with the transport of shoes and other donated goods from their storage facility to the event. By volunteering our time and trucks, we ensure that the youth of Detroit are receiving the materials they need.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® partnered up with Covenant House for their annual Sleep Out event, donating 100 wardrobe boxes. Individuals have the opportunity to raise awareness by giving up their beds and luxuries for a night to get a full understanding of what these young adults dealing with homelessness go through. Covenants Sleep Out event is a nationwide fundraiser that takes place in 17 cities across North and Central America. Participants will get the chance to sit down with those young adults experiencing homelessness to hear their stories and what their day-to-day looks like. When night comes the participants will get two cardboard boxes to make up their sleeping arrangements for the night. 

Being a part of such an eye-opening experience is something TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is all about. We strive each and every day to make a difference in our community and these events are just getting us one step closer.
