Dedicated to our Lincoln community

This year is flying by, and Veterans Day will be here before we know it! This special day is a time for our entire country to thank those who have served our country and bravely fought to ensure the freedoms and comforts we enjoy each day. If you have followed our company in the past, you know the veteran community is very near to our hearts. Each year, we plan a collection drive with a local nonprofit company that will benefit veterans in need. This year, we are partnering with People's city Mission to collect essential items that we take for granted. Start saving up your items, and stay tuned to our Facebook page for upcoming dates and details!​

Though Mother’s Day is intended to be a joyous occasion for women across the country, thousands of moms will be overlooked on this special holiday because they are forced to live in shelters as a result of domestic abuse or homelessness. To ensure moms in crisis receive the love and appreciation they deserve this Mother’s Day, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Lincoln is hosting its annual Movers for Moms® collection drive to provide critical gifts to local struggling women.

This year, we are working with local organizations to collect essential care and comfort items for women with The Friendship Home. The program will run from April 13th-May 11th. The Friendship Home of Lincoln helps survivors of domestic violence find physical and emotional safety. Offering possibilities to help change their lives when things are at their worst – to be hope they can feel. Through crisis services, emergency shelter, and transitional housing, Friendship Home helps survivors gain insight into their trauma and guides them to use their strengths to rebuild their lives.

Since its introduction, the Movers for Moms® program has expanded nationally to 44 states and more than 300 franchises. In 2021, the program collected over 232,000 donations to hundreds of shelters across the country. This year, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®’s goal is to have all locations collect donation items or monetary donations to support local shelters in need.

Friendship Home was established in 1978, as a shelter run by nuns for women and children to reside in when they come to Lincoln to visit loved ones who are either in prison or in a hospital. The organization quickly realized most of the people who came to the shelter were victims of domestic violence and abuse. Now, it is a safe haven for families to learn to transition back into the world without violence. Here at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® of Lincoln we donate moving services to assist victims of domestic abuse move to a safe house provided by the Friendship Home.

The People's City Mission was started in 1907 by local churches offering shelter and food to those in need. Today, the mission serves approximately 30,000 people in the Lincoln area. They are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, they offer an emergency shelter for individuals to reside for 24 to 48 hours. Every guest of the shelter is provided with three meals a day, a bed, a shower, and hygiene products. There is also an extended stay shelter for families or women and children of domestic violence. When living in the shelter, the individuals have the ability to attend classes that focus on living independently, personal care, and life skills. Additionally, every inhabitant completes volunteer work. The mission also offers a free medical facility for people who do not have medical insurance or cannot afford to pay for medical care. It is run by retired or practicing doctors and other medical professionals who are volunteering their services.

Starry Nights was another smashing success for 2022!  We had over 60,000 people walk through the free display and raised nearly $80,000 that will go directly to help cover the cost of feeding and housing those in need. This is one of our favorite events of the year!  Although transporting these trees creates a few logistical challenges, we were able to pull it off without a single broken ornament.
