Your Brentwood-Franklin Movers
Since TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®'s beginning, Founder Mary Ellen Sheets has shown a passion for giving back to the community. She formed a large portion of her business around caring for the people we work with and serve every day. In reality, where would the company be without the wonderful communities that surround each franchise? Our franchise is no different. We have been fortunate to work in one of the most amazing small towns in America, Franklin!
Giving back to the community and working with local charities is a high priority here at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®! In 2022 we were able to donate around 1,000 items to Bridges DVC in Franklin, TN!
The purpose of this program is to recognize mothers living in shelters this Mother’s Day by arranging the delivery of necessities for women who are victims of domestic abuse or homelessness. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® partners with local businesses and organizations, along with local women’s and family shelters in their communities. This year, we have partnered up again with YWCA of middle Tennessee, Bridges and Murfreesboro Domestic Violence, and Sexual Assault Shelter. The donations we encourage include any and all essential care items: nice soaps, hair styling products, shampoos and conditioners, pillows, blankets, slippers, robes, and more.
We feel so lucky to be able to help moms in need. To donate so many items to local shelters in our community is very rewarding! We could have not done it without the support and help of our community partners, and we look forward to an even more successful 2023 MOVERS FOR MOMS® drive.
To get involved next year, contact Parker Ciampa at Parker.Ciampa@twomen.com For more information about drop-off locations, please visit the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Facebook pages.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® are the official movers for the Franklin Wine Festival held each October. We donate moving services and extra labor to prepare for this grand event. All proceeds benefit the Big Brothers Big Sister program.
This year, we are thrilled to have made a significant impact by raising over $3,000 and donating 295 bikes to JackFM’s renowned "Bikes or Bust" campaign, which provides underprivileged families with bikes for Christmas. Our dedicated team not only contributed generously, but also took on the responsibility of delivering the entire donation directly to the event site, ensuring that every bike reached those in need. By partnering with this incredible initiative, we were able to help bring joy and mobility to families, making the holiday season brighter and more memorable for many. We are proud to be part of such a transformative cause and remain committed to supporting our community in meaningful ways.
Over the past 6 years TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® has been collecting non-pershiable foods to help fill our local pantries for the holiday season. This food drives helps restock the food pantry after making Thanksgiving care packages for local families in need. All proceeds of this food drive goes to the GraceWorks Ministries food pantry to help with the shortage of food items during the holiday season. In past years, we’ve donated over 2,500 pounds of food to GraceWorks. For ways to help with these community initiatives, please contact Haley at Haley.Klages@twomen.com.
For Fill-A-Truck 2018, our conclusion drives will be held on November 15th at the Kroger on 2946 S Church Street in Murfreesboro and on November 16th we will be at Kroger on 203 Murfreesboro Road in Franklin.
The results for Fill-a-Truck 2018 are officially in! This year we donated over 3000 pounds of food to GraceWorks Ministries! One of our largest years yet! We could have done it without the support of our community and the help of our community partners. Check out our blog to see who was involved this year.
