Today was the we delivered more than 9,000 Movers
for Moms® donation items
collected throughout the Sacramento area in support of the fight against
domestic abuse.
Our delivery day began with unexpected showers before the
sun even rose.
Three women who worked or volunteered for WEAVE were also
chosen for makeovers. They were chosen because they really went above and
beyond their duties during WEAVE’s large events recently which included Walk a
Mile in Her Shoes and The Big Day of Giving.
On deck this morning was also a team of stylists provided by
Paul Mitchell’s cosmetology school. Paul Mitchell took care of the women’s hair
and makeup and a style blogger working with WEAVE picked out their outfits.
Our movers got to the location by 8 a.m. It was still
pouring and two broadcasting crews were already filming and ready to go.
We packed more than 200 boxes, filled with new and used
items that WEAVE could use at their safe houses and their stores. The boxes
with the brand new items such as shampoos, face masks, and more cosmetics would
go to the safe houses for children to make Mother’s Day baskets.
It was really gratifying to see our month-long donations
drive being appreciated by WEAVE’s staff and also everyone partaking in the
event. Over the course of the drive, we’ve been approached by survivors of domestic
abuse and other WEAVE volunteers who’ve been able to share their stories and
the stories of the women they have come to into contact with.
Here at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®
Sacramento, our motto is “Movers who care” and not only do we care about
your personal possessions when moving them, but we also care about the people
in our community. We’re so happy with the results from this year’s Movers
for Moms® drive and we
look forward to the next!
So many thanks to our partners and sponsors this Movers
for Moms® including SMUD, THE FISH, and the Sacramento
Association of Realtors.
