Collecting Now - Tuesday, May 7th, 2013!
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Des Plaines/Chicago, and other franchise locations across the country, are making Mother's Day even more special for local mothers and their children!
This year we are teaming up with the CAWC’s Greenhouse Shelter in Chicago to deliver Mother's Day gift baskets to women who are escaping domestic violence situations.
We are collecting donations from the end of March until just before Mother's Day on May 12, 2013. Appreciated items include: soaps, lotions, hair styling products, shampoos and conditioners, journals, calendars, slippers and other basic clothing items.
Our 2013 collection partners include: Iroquois Community School, Maine West High School, Village Bank and Trust, the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce, all Des Plaines Park District locations, axiom Technology Group, the Des Plaines Library and other participating organizations.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Des Plaines/Chicago will pick up and deliver the collected items to the Greenhouse Shelter just in time for Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 12th.
