A company focused on community
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Columbia believes it is extremely important to give back to the community in whatever way we can. We have been fortunate enough to work with many churches and charitable organizations as they have come to us in need over the years, and have performed more than $10,000 worth of a charity services in support of our community. We also participate in many programs internally, such as our very successful Movers for Moms® program. Check out our community service page for more information on how the “Movers Who Care®” earn their nickname!
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Campaigns
Movers for Moms®
Each year, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® locations all across the nation set out to collect essential care items for women and mothers seeking shelter at local homeless or domestic abuse victim centers. This annual campaign is called Movers for Moms®.
This year, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® of Columbia will be partnering with the local shelter, Oliver Gospel - Toby's Place, to collect and donate essential care items for women who are victims of domestic violence and homelessness. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Columbia will be distributing donation boxes throughout our community to collect donations starting on March 29th. Then, during the week before Mother's Day (week of My 8th), we'll pick up and deliver all of those items to the shelter.

Movers for Mutts®
This fall, we are hosting our first Movers for Mutts campaign benefiting Pawmetto Lifeline, a non-profit rescue in Columbia. We are collecting items of need at a few locations around Downtown Columbia, such as Sweet Cream Co., Mast General Store, Blue Flour Bakery, and Cupcake Downsouth, to donate to the shelter. Some items on the shelter's wishlist include leashes, collars, dog and cat toys, blankets, paper towels, and much more. Anything you are willing to give will make an impact for Pawmetto Lifeline. With so many misplaced animals in and around the Midlands, every donation counts!
Truckload of Warmth®
Along with the Movers For Moms® program, we also participate in the annual Truckload of Warmth® collection. Our aim is to support local families in need during the harsh winter months by collecting new or gently used coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and any other winter items that may be needed. We partner with local businesses, schools, and various organizations leading up to the holidays and collect all donations for delivery around the end of November.
Local Partners
Camp Kemo
CAMP KEMO Programs are a variety of psychosocial programs that were developed to meet the needs of patients, siblings and parents who face the challenges created by cancer. Treating cancer in children requires a careful balance of services to meet the physical, emotional and social needs of the entire family. CAMP KEMO Programs of Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital are designed to educate, inspire and support the entire family so that life is more manageable and enjoyable. Each year, we help out by delivering camp supplies at the beginning of the season. Later on, at the end of the program, we return to pack it all back up until the next time.
MIRCI
South Carolina's Mental Illness Recovery Center, Inc., also known as MIRCI, has been an active social rehabilitation program since 1960. In the years since, they have expanded their reach to provide a wide variety of other assistance programs(opens in a new window) to individuals recovering from severe mental illness. From benefits and housing assistance to behavioral health care support, MIRCI offers so many avenues to help those in need obtain self-confidence, become better adjusted, and live independently within their community. They also provide both adult and youth outreach programs to assist our city's homeless or at-risk community. For years, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® has proudly offered its services by helping to relocate those in need with the guidance of the dedicated staff at MIRCI and their amazing partners.
