Supporting our Local Barrie Community

Movers for Moms® means a lot to us at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Barrie & Central Ontario. It’s a community initiative that runs each spring, where we collect essential care items to support women in need around Mother’s Day. It’s about coming together to offer comfort, dignity, and a reminder that someone cares. At the same time, it’s a way to recognize the strength, love, and resilience that moms show every single day.

We’re so proud to share that we’ve wrapped up our very first Movers for Moms® campaign, and it was truly an incredible experience for our whole team. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to collect 623 donations, far beyond what we had hoped for. For this first campaign, we were honoured to partner with the Women and Children’s Shelter of Barrie. To everyone who donated, shared the message, or encouraged others to get involved, thank you. Every item collected represented kindness, dignity, and hope. 💜

We’re already looking forward to doing it all again in 2026 and continuing to grow this movement, one thoughtful gesture at a time. 💜

Movers for Mutts® is about supporting local dogs and cats in our community as they wait for their forever homes. From food and treats to toys and supplies, every donation helps our local shelter animals.

We’re excited to share the incredible results of our very first Movers for Mutts® campaign. Our goal was to collect 500 essential pet items for the Barrie OSPCA. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we not only met that goal, but we more than doubled it, collecting an amazing 1,203 donations! 🐾💙

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and supported. You helped turn this campagin into a heartwarming success, and you made a real difference in the lives of local pets. 🐶🐱

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).
