Community Service in Kalamazoo

There has been a lot of growth for TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Kalamazoo over the years. We are thankful for the amazing support our communities have given us. In addition to our growth, we have been able to watch the local community flourish around us. Our location proudly lives the “give back to the community” core value. In 2016, 2017, and 2018 we donated over nearly 900 hours of service to local charities like Loaves and Fishes, Eleanor House, Toys for Tots, Big Brothers Big Sisters and many others.

KALAMAZOO GOSPEL MISSION

The Kalamazoo Gospel Mission offers emergency provisions, such as shelter, food, clothing, hygiene products and more, to families and individuals facing hardships. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has chosen this non-profit as one of our recipients who receive our donations through Movers for Moms®. Donations were supplied to the two floors in the women's shelters. The Good Samaritan program is the first level of the shelter services. It offers any woman a safe place to sleep for the evening. The second level of the women's shelter is the general Shelter, which is divided into three parts: Single's Dorm, Women's Dorm and Family Shelter. This program offers more stability and is a short term solution for women, children and families looking for emergency housing.

YWCA

The YWCA of Kalamazoo was founded in 1885 by Ida Stearns, the first YWCA established in Michigan. The YWCA of Kalamazoo achieves its mission of eliminating racism and empowering women through programs and services operated by their Children's Center, Community & Member Services, Domestic Assault Program, Sexual Assault Program and the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has chosen to name The YWCA as one of our recipients of Movers for Moms® annually.
