As families across the nation anticipate Mother’s Day with brunches and flowers, many women in the US will be spending the day in homeless shelters, many as a result of domestic abuse.
To make life in a shelter just a little gentler for these moms in need, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is again hosting its annual Movers for Moms® donation drive beginning March 31 and running through Mother’s Day. Donations will be collected at banks, daycares, and other businesses, and delivered to YWCA Madison and YWCA Rock County. Full wish lists from YWCA Madison and YWCA of Rock County may be found on their websites.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchises across the country will all take part in the campaign because so many women struggle with domestic violence. According to information from The National Domestic Abuse Hotline, one in four women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime. Disturbing statistics from The National Alliance to End Homelessness report that domestic violence is the immediate cause of homelessness for many women, and 92 percent of homeless women had experienced severe physical or sexual assault at some point in their lives.
The Creative Company is one of the locations in Madison where donations will be taken. Bring in your childcare items, personal items, school supplies and other donations to 100 S. Baldwin Street #201.
