Your "Movers Who Care®", giving back to Mooresville and surrounding areas
As a locally owned and operated business, it is very important for us to give back our community. Aside from our annual campaigns, Movers for Moms® and Movers for Mutts®, our staff members regularly volunteer their time in the community. The ALS Association, Girls on the Run(opens in a new window), Ace & TJ's Grin Kids, Family Guidance Center, My Sister's House and Carolina Broadway Theatre Company are organizations we regularly work with throughout the year. We have also received the Patriotic Employer Award for supporting employees currently serving in the National Guard.
Movers for Moms® is a charity initiative that was created to help collect donations for women and children in need. We partner with local business and organizations in the community to collect essential items women and children in shelters will need. On or before Mother's Day, these items are delivered to homeless and domestic abuse shelters in hopes of easing the burden these families feel in their current situations. Over the past two years, we were able to collect and donate over 3,000 items to Fifth Street Ministries and Family Guidance Center's Domestic Violence Shelter! Thank you to everyone who have helped make these last annual campaigns so successful!
Our 2019 campaign was another huge success and we couldn't have done it without the support of our community and our collection partners. Thanks to Morningstar Storage, Mooresville-Iredell Chamber of Commerce office, Salon Envy, Talbert Rec Center, Orange Theory, Lowe's YMCA, Girls on the Run, Mooresville Police Department and the Statesville Police Department, we were able to collect close to 2,500 items for the women at My Sister's House.
In 2017, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Mooresville launched a fall charity campaign, Movers for Mutts® for the first time! We partnered with the Lake Norman Humane Society to collect donations that their amazing organization needed the most. They spend so much time and energy helping those animals who are need of love and help, donations from the community allow them to continue their hard-work with a little less burden; thank you to our community partners who so graciously helped us collect items this year: The Feed Bucket, Hawthorne at Mooresville Apartments, Village Paws & Claws and George Pappas' Victory Lanes. Remember, donations can always be made to the humane society directly online at: http://lakenormanhumane.org/!
We will be running this campaign again in the fall of 2019 and could not be more excited to help as many furry friends as possible! If you or someone you know would like to be a collection partner for our upcoming campaign, please contact our office directly!
This charity organization was created by local radio personalities Ace and TJ with the purpose of being able to send chronically diasabled or terminally ill children to Disney World for a truly memorable trip! For the last three years, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Mooresville has donated a truck and our employees to pick up the donations collected here in North Carolina and deliver them to Florida in time for their special event. Ace & TJ's Grin Kids is always accepting donations if anyone would like to give to this amazing charity. Be sure to "like" their Facebook page for updates and additional information about the charity: https://www.facebook.com/GrinKids/
We are thrilled to announce we delivered at $200 check to The Christian Mission from the proceeds of our annual Movers For Moms® charity. We donated $3 from every move completed April 1-30, 2022. We are so appreciative of all the work the The Christian Mission is doing for our community.
For several years now, we have helped the Girls on the Run of the Greater Piedmont set up their annual Spring 5K. This year, we're very happy that we can not only do that but also partner with them to make our annual Movers for Moms® campaign even better! Girls on the Run is a program created to help girls from 3rd to 8th grade develop socially, physically and psychologically through programs that are based on physical activity. Because a large portion of this program is teaching the participants to give back to the community, we all thought a Movers for Moms® drive would be a perfect fit during the Spring 5K, the Saturday before Mother's Day! We'll be posting updates as we near closer to the event!
We are thrilled to announce we are sponsoring the 11TH ANNUAL MOORESVILLE/LAKE NORMAN TURKEY TROT 5K to break the cycle of poverty! All proceeds support the Mooresville Area Christian Mission serving over 4,000+ local individuals in need. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Mooresville have worked with the Mooresville Christian Mission in the past donating all proceeds from our yearly Movers for Moms® community service event.
They have a goal to reach 1,000 participants; if you’re interested you can access their Facebook "event" link or the link to register is: https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/Mooresville/MooresvilleLakeNormanTurkeyTrot

So they'll be able to, you know, reach out to us and ask us if you don't have a good communication to start in the day, then things get kind of confusing.
(Video cuts to an interview of one of the movers)
Um for instance, for addresses and things like that or like even getting like carpet shield down for them just to make sure that their homes protected.
