As the majority of moms across the country were being treated to dinner or pampered with gifts on Mother’s Day, thousands of others spent the day living in shelters, thankful to have a roof over their head. To offer support and make Mother’s Day a little brighter for women in crisis, the national moving company TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® partnered with more than 200 schools and community organizations this spring for its Movers for Moms® charity drive. Franchise locations from 27 states collected more than 115,000 items for women living in more than 100 homeless and domestic abuse relief shelters across the country.
Locally, the Lincoln TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchise partnered with Lincoln Christian Schools, La Petite Acadamy and to collect roughly 12,000 lbs of furniture, food, clothing, toiletries and other essentials for women staying at The People’s City Mission.
