GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

Here at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Gulf Coast, we value our mothers and the impact they have on the lives of others. That’s why every year we reach out and connect with our community to provide essentials items for mothers in need, no matter their circumstances. Movers for Moms® is a nationwide effort to help mothers in need get back on their feet and feel special.

How the Program Works

The Movers for Moms® campaign partners with local businesses and organizations to collect essential care items for women staying in local shelters. Our office will handle all logistics between shelter partners, trucks, pick-ups, deliveries, etc. In addition, we’ll supply your organization with collection boxes, posters, and literature about the program. We’ll also provide you with a list of items requested by the shelter to distribute to your office staff/clients. This year we will have a full list of collection sites where you can drop off the donated items. 

How to Get Involved

To get involved in Movers for Moms® 2025, please help us by promoting the collection drive, and if you are able to donate any of the supplies we would greatly appreciate it! TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® will handle all the other details, including the pick-up and delivery of gifts to a local non-profit that gives back to mother's in need. 

Movers for Moms® 2025 will begin on the 1st of April and run through the Tuesday before Mother's Day, which is May 6th!

We hope you will join the Movers for Moms® program in helping make Mother’s Day 2025 a happier day for mothers in need across the region. If you have any questions, or if you’d like to register your organization for the Movers for Moms® program, please call us or email me at emily.sham@twomen.com.

Movers for Moms® 2024 Results

This year our annual Movers for Moms® campaign donated over a half of a moving truck filled with items for moms in need, estimating about 3,000 items! We had over 30 community partners that made this years donation drive so successful. The most needed item at the center was twin size sheets, and we will be able to donate 3 large boxes filled with brand-new bedding for their residents! 

We were overwhelmed by the amount collected in 2024 and we can't wait to see how many donations we collect in 2025! None of this would have been possible without our community partners. We collected over 1,500 items for both the Gulf Coast Nonviolence Center for and the Women's Resource Center. We want to THANK YOU for your support of our Movers for Moms® campaign and can't wait for next year!

Back Bay Mission has a simple mission: to strengthen neighborhoods, seek justice, and transform lives. Back Bay Mission has multiple, unique ministries where they are able to give back to people who are in need and pour their servant hearts back into our community on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As a volunteer, we at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® get just as much out of partnering with such a wonderful organization as they receive from the help we provide. Whether they are helping a homeowner keep their home, mentoring a single mother as she plans her path out of poverty, or working with an intern who is thinking about a career in social work, Back Bay Mission is making the lives of the people we serve better! 

Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA, provides a powerful voice for abused and neglected children. These advocates are highly-trained and dedicated individuals who are fact finders for the judge by researching the background of each child's case; and they speak for the child in the courtroom, representing the child's best interests. CASA works to move the children they represent as quickly and effectively as possible through the system and into a safe, permanent home. 

One of our Core Values at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK- Gulfport, MS & Hattiesburg, MS is to "give back to the community."
