MOVERS FOR MOMS April 3 - May 4, 2023

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® Reno is hosting its annual MOVERS FOR MOMS® collection drive from April 3 through May 4, 2023, to provide critical gifts to local individuals who are relying on the Domestic Violence Resource Center. The collection boxes are accessible at a variety of businesses in Reno, Sparks, Incline, and Truckee. All boxes have QR codes that provide a list of new items that are needed along with a link to the center’s Amazon wish list to make donating easy.

Please visit our partners for this program during this time to make a contribution to these boxes from the WISH LIST.

Our valued partners are:

  • Bone-Ito @ Rancharrah
  • Eclipse Running
  • Greater Nevada Credit Union - 6 locations

Girl Power

Two Men and a Truck Reno is proud to be a 2021 Star Power Sponsor of Girls on the Run Sierras

Their Mission

Girls on the Run Sierras' mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. The 10-week program meets twice a week, after school, for 90 minutes each session in the spring and fall. 

Why It Matters

Girls face social pressures and conflicting messages about how they should act and who they should be. Studies show that by adolescence, girls’ confidence drops about twice as much as boys’. Friendships become more complicated and challenging, girls’ perception of their academic success declines, the likelihood of anxiety and depression increases and participation in physical activity plummets. It doesn’t have to be this way. The Girls on the Run Sierra team believes that every girl is inherently full of power and potential. By knowing they are the leaders of their lives, these are the girls who will change the world! 

There are a lot of ways to give to Girls on the Run Sierras. Visit their website(opens in a new window) to learn more.
