TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Columbia, 4/4/23 —Though Mother’s Day is intended to be a joyous occasion for women across the country, thousands of moms will be overlooked on this special holiday because they are forced to live in shelters as a result of domestic abuse or homelessness.

To ensure moms in crisis receive the love and appreciation they deserve this Mother’s Day, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Columbia is hosting its annual Movers for Moms® collection drive to provide critical gifts to local women staying in community shelters this spring.

Heartbreaking statistics from the Domestic Violence Resource Center state that one in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, and an estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year. According to a national study from the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, approximately 25 percent of homeless women are homeless because of violence in the home.

This year, the Richmond moving company is working with local businesses to collect essential care and comfort items for women at the Oliver Gospel – Toby’s Place.

Oliver Gospel is a community-based mission that helps those experiencing homelessness, poverty, or addiction transform their lives through physical, spiritual, and relational support so that they can lead full, healthy lives.

Toby's Place, named in memory of Toby Cassels, is a center for Women & Children who are without a stable home due to numerous factors, including but not limited to substance abuse, and/or economic deficiency. Toby's Place shares the gospel of Jesus Christ with women and children as well as offering programs & counseling to help them achieve transformation and break the cycle of generational homelessness.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Columbia will be collecting donations from 3/29 to 5/8. For those who wish to donate, you may drop off items at the following locations during that time:
