On Wednesday Novermber 6th, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK of Fayetteville presented 70 Veterans with care items at the live-in and acute care facility at the Fayetteville VA Hospital. Items included magazines with word games, a blanket, coffee tumbler and other personal care items specific to the needs of those staying in the live-in facility. Two of the moving company's movers, Nucona Chance and Jarvis Williams headed the team which included Operations Manager Robin, Brokos and franchisee Kristie Allen that walked through the center greeting patients and offering the items.
The delivery was coordinated in partnership with Cheeriodicals, an organization who sets up deliveries at local Veterans Administration and Children's hospitals and works with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK International on delivering these items. This year instead of delivering the items for other companies, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK decided to purchase the gifts as well.
"While anytime we to give back to the community is important, doing this for our Veterans has a special meaning as many on our team have served in the military or have spouses or close friends who have served," said Robin Brokos "It was a great way to celebrate Veterans day."
"This was a perfect opportunity to live our mission as the Movers who Care," said Allen " For us it is not just a motto, we mean it and were proud to visit with these heroes."
Although only a few of the company’s team members visited the hospital, most of the employees at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Fayetteville were able to participate in hand packing the gift duffel bags the day before. Part of the effort also included personal hand written notes from the movers to the veterans.
On deliver day, the team not only got to hand out the items, but they also spent time just talking and getting to know the residents. The visit itself was also educational because the team learned about all the available volunteer opportunities to visit on a regular basis as well as the huge impact that the VA hospital has on our area veterans.
When asked what she thought at the end of the deliver, Brokos, looking joyful said “The movers were just happier and lighter after the activity. It really was a fun and meaningful thing to get to show our appreciation.
The company is considering making this an annual event.
