TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Kicks Off
Movers for Moms® Drive to Help Mothers in Shelters
Community-Supported Program Aids Moms in Crisis on Mother’s Day

March 21, 2016 —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.

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.

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

This year, the Millwood moving company is working with local schools and business owners to collect essential and comfort items for women staying at Putnam Northern Westchester Women’s Resource Center, My Sisters Place & Hope’s Door.
