Every year, ‘Two Men and a Truck’ make a special delivery for Mother’s Day. During their ‘Movers for Moms’ collection drive, they collect items for local domestic violence survivors to help them feel loved and supported on Mother’s Day.

Today, they delivered the items to the Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence.

The Two Men and a Truck Gulfport office was filled with donations from their annual Movers for Moms campaign.

Their crew filled over 25 moving boxes with items for the Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence. During the campaign, donation drop off boxes were scattered from state line to state line. When they collected them, many were overflowing. Sales and Marketing Manager Emily Sham said, “The community got so involved. I mean, there were places that had other boxes when I went there to pick up, other than our box was filled.”

The company filled one of their moving trucks with the donations and dropped them off at the Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence. “I’m a mom so I know what it means to get that handmade gift from your child during Mother’s Day, especially these women living in the shelter that might not have a lot. Just a nice smelling shampoo, some slippers, some PJs, anything to make them feel better on Mother’s Day.”

Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence Senior Residential Advisor Kelly Morrin said, “They come into the shelter and a lot of times the clients don’t have anything, starting completely over with nothing. So, for us to be able to provide that to them is huge.”

Two Men and a Truck Customer Service Rep Rebecca McIntosh said, “I love just helping all the mothers that need help in the women’s shelter, especially if they are going through a tough time. Anything to make them feel better.”

The shelter is currently helping over 40 women who are victims of domestic violence or sexual assault and now they also can help them feel special this Mother’s Day. “I feel like this year is going to be a good one. We got a lot of great donations.”
