100% Committed To Our Local Community 

Our business was built on a commitment to bettering our local community. When TWO MEN AND A TRUCK first took to the streets we didn't have any fancy advertising or digital marketing, and definitely no TV ads. We had business cards and our reputation. We were committed to helping anyone we could and delivering the best customer service while we did it. Our community was wonderful to us, and we felt the need to repay that favor. After our first year in business in the early eighties, our founder Mary Ellen made $1,000 profit (that was a lot of money back then!). Instead of buying a new car or spending it frivolously, she split the $1,000 ten ways and donated $100 to ten different charities. This method of thinking is still ingrained into our business model.  We aim to assist and improve our local communities in any way possible. 

If you know of any local charities that might benefit from our services, please feel free to reach out to us and we will do our best to help in any way possible. Thank you for all the love San Antonio! 

 

 

Movers for Mutts

 

Movers for Mutts® is our newest cause campaign. Our very first Movers for Mutts® campaign took place in the fall of 2016, and all donations received were collected on behalf of the Animal Defense League of Texas which is a local no-kill shelter. By instituting this new program we hope to support our local shelters so that they have the necessary resources to continue sheltering and fostering stray companion animals in the San Antonio area. We look forward to watching Movers for Mutts® growing impact in the coming years. More information about participating in or donating to this cause will be available in the fall of 2017

ANIMAL DEFENSE LEAGUE OF TEXAS

 

The Animal Defense League is a non-profit organization that provides a healthy environment for companion animals that have been abandoned, abused or neglected. The Animal Defense League will take in any cat or dog regardless of its condition when it arrives and each animal receives complete medical treatment. They also offer a low cost spay and neuter program to assist owners who may not be able to afford it otherwise, and have a catch and release program so that feral animals can be spayed or neutered before being returned where they were found.

Movers For Moms®

Update: San Antonio, you guys are amazing! We collected over 15,000 items to be delivered directly to the Battered Women's and Children's Shelter of Bexar County! If you still have items that you would like to donate, you can deliver them directly to the Battered Women's and Children's Shelter. Thank you so much for the incredible support. We can't wait for next year! 

Movers for Moms® is an annual Spring campaign in which TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® partners with local shelters to help mothers who are struggling with homelessness or are staying in shelters due to domestic violence. Our goal is to make life easier for at-risk women who find themselves in shelters on Mother’s Day. We wouldn’t be able to achieve these goals alone. Each year we partner with businesses and apartment communities to increase awareness about this cause and to collect as many donations as possible. All donations are collected on behalf of the Family Violence Prevention Services, Inc. and delivered just before Mother’s Day. If you have any interest in making a donation you can take a look at the Wishlist here. If you would like to participate in the Movers for Moms® program please call our office for more information about donating or becoming a collection site.
