Supporting our Local Barrie Community

In 2025, we held our very first Movers for Moms® campaign here at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Barrie & Central Ontario, partnering with the Women & Children's Shelter of Barrie.

We weren't sure what to expect in our first year, but our community really came through. Together, we collected 623 donations for the shelter, far more than we'd hoped for when we started.

A big thank you to everyone who dropped off donations, shared our posts or helped spread the word. Seeing so many people come together to support local women and children meant a lot to our team, and it gave us a great start to what we hope will be a lasting annual tradition.

After the support we received during our first Movers for Moms® campaign, we were excited to bring it back to Barrie in 2026.

Once again, we partnered with the Women & Children's Shelter of Barrie, with more than a dozen local businesses helping by providing donation drop-off locations throughout the community.

Thanks to everyone's generosity, we collected 617 essential care items for the shelter.

A big thank you to everyone who hosted a collection box, dropped off donations or helped us spread the word. It was great to see familiar faces returning and new supporters getting involved. We're grateful to be part of a community that continues to come together to help others.

In 2025, we held our first Movers for Mutts® campaign here in Barrie, collecting food, toys and other pet supplies for the Ontario SPCA Barrie and District Animal Centre.

We started with a goal of collecting 500 items. By the time everything was counted, we had 1,203 donations! That's more than double what we originally set out to collect.

We couldn't have done it without everyone who dropped off donations, allowed us to set up collection boxes at their businesses or helped get the word out. Thank you for helping us make our first year such a success and for showing some love to the animals waiting for their forever homes.

As the saying goes, "You can't really understand another person's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes.” The Walk A Mile in Her Shoes event invites men, women and youth to literally walk in women's high-heeled shoes. It's not easy walking in these shoes, but it’s fun, and it gets the community to talk about something that's really difficult to talk about. Violence against women continues to be an epidemic in our own community and around the world, so we gather as one to bring awareness of domestic abuse.

For 50 years, Barrie & District Christmas Cheer has stood beside families who need a little extra support at Christmas. 
 

This holiday season, we’re proud to once again partner with this amazing organization. As always, we’re donating not just items but our time and trucks to pick up and deliver the donations to where they’re needed most.

We believe it’s more than charity - it’s community. It’s showing up, giving back, and reminding people they’re not alone during this season. ❤️

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Barrie & Central Ontario was eager to pitch in and help with clean-up efforts after an EF-2 tornado devastated the city of Barrie on July 15, 2021, leaving many homeless and countless without power.  Adam Kinsey and Brock Bolduc couldn't wait to pitch in with the volunteer efforts to clean things up and allow the reconstruction and repair of the area. With donations of water and time spent mapping out the exact locations early in the day, they slipped on their work gloves and went to work. We are extremely honoured to have had the opportunity to help those in our community with a truck and crew.  It was a great way to help give back to the community that has supported TWO MEN AND A TRUCK in Barrie since we opened our doors in 2010.

The event was hosted by the York Region Children’s Aid Society, on Sunday, December 17^th, 2023, at the Universal Eventspace in Vaughan. It was a superhero-themed family event, where 225 brand new bicycles and helmets were donated in boxes, unassembled. 125 bikes were being delivered to the Barrie Children's Aid Society, and 100 were being delivered to the York Region Children's Aid Society in Newmarket. Volunteers spent 3 hours assembling the 225 bikes and loading 125 of them, along with 125 helmets, onto our truck that we donated to transport them to the Barrie Children's Aid Society warehouse in Barrie, for distribution to families and children in need. We donated our truck, along with 2 men who donated their Sunday (Dan Brohm and Richie Price).

Giving back to our communities is an important part of what we do at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Barrie & Central Ontario.

Our team was proud to take part in the Wendat FUNDrive, helping support an initiative that brought people together to make a difference in our community.

Thanks to the generosity of residents and supporters, the FUNDrive collected more than 15,000 pounds of donated goods and raised approximately $2,000.

We're grateful to everyone who contributed and helped make the event a success. Supporting organizations like Wendat Community Programs is one way we put our commitment to giving back into action.
