Giving back to the community we serve

On Saturday February 24, 2024 we participated in the annual Coldest Night of the Year in support of Haven in the Queensway.  All money raised goes to helps bag those less fortunate in our community.  We were able to raise almost $2000 in generous donations and we donated time, trucks and labour to the set up and tear down of the event.  

In addition to partnering with The Mikey Network through their Mikey on Board program, Our Franchise Owner & General Manager Brad, has been a supporter of this important charity for a number of years.

We believe in The Mikey Network's mission to place AEDs in public spaces and feel so strongly about it that we carry a defibrillator on each and every one of our trucks. No matter if it's on the highway, a local street, community centre, or in a neighbourhood, our crews have the AED units with them and are trained to use them if someone goes into cardiac arrest

To brighten the Christmas season for some of those in need, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Etobicoke donated Christmas trees to our local LAMP Community Health Centre. LAMP is a leader in promoting and advocating for physical, mental and social well-being through inclusive, integrated community programs and health care services. We are proud to call them neighbours and hope we brought a few smiles this Christmas.

We could not be prouder to support the Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter in Etobicoke. Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter was opened in 1983 by a group of community members who saw a need for a safe place for women and children fleeing violence and abuse. This Holiday season, we donated a large amount of dry goods to their onsite food bank, as well as donating and delivering furniture to families in need, creating care baskets for women and children in the shelter, and donating  gift cards to teens living at the shelter to let them feel a little independence in getting some things they need for themselves.

Since 2017, we have participated in the Lakeshore Santa Claus Parade. We decorate one of our TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Etobicoke moving the trucks, and employees, friends and family walk the 1 ½ hour long parade greeting onlookers and handing out candy canes.  It's important to us to go out into the community and do what we can to support those who have supported us since we opened our doors in May 2017!!  Seeing our customers in the crowds who give a nod, smile or shout warms our hearts!!

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Etobicoke participates in Light the Night- where each participant gathers donations to give back to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Of Canada to fund research for a cure for blood cancers. Having lost his father in law, Brad and his family walk with lanterns to light the night to bring attention to this cause.

ESS offers a diverse range of accredited services and programs designed to support the well-being of the seniors, older adults and caregivers who use their services. They are a great organization that works with Etobicoke seniors, offering transportation services, medical care, and support for families.  TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Etobicoke has worked with ESS for the last four years, completing moves for various programs, donating items to local shelters, and working with their food bank.  We have also been platinum sponsors at their yearly charity gala. 

Made a monetary donation to the Kids Help Phone for Bell Let’s Talk Day

This year, we did a charity event pick up and drop with Cheeriodicals and Ronald McDonald house - we loved it and couldn't be happier to be a part of this initiative.

In partnership with the Etobicoke Rotary club, we created care packages for seniors.  The packages consisted of some sweet snacks, notebooks and novels along with other items to help have some rest and relaxation.  The baskets were delivered to seniors at another one of our Partners, ESS

We have partnered with Haven on the Queensway since late 2023 and have watched our relationship grow from donations of needed baby supplies to bi-weekly food pick ups and deliveries to sponsors of large events.

Havens Mission statement is to enhance the quality of life for those in need by providing food, clothing and other resources.  They promise to those who come through their doors, they offer an atmosphere of respect, dignity, and security as they help clients on their way to self-sufficiency.

​

Our core values align and when two powerhouses in Etobicoke come together, we are virtually unstoppable in how much support we can offer to our community!

We were happy to be a part of a charitable event hosted by the Rotary, our very own Brad was on the planning committee.  The money donated will be  going to water projects in Cambodia. 

In February, we partnered with some local schools and had them create Valentines for Vets/Seniors to show some love!  We hand delivered the valentines and some treats to The Royal Canadian Legion on Lakeshores and Parkland On Eglinton West (retirement home). 

For the month of December, we gifted baskets for women filled with feminine hygiene products, sweet treats and some reading materials.  We were happy to partner with the Salvation Army who delivered these packages to women in need.  

The Swansea Hockey Association is the largest not-for-profit outdoor hockey league in North America. The coming 2023/2024 season will be our 50th season. In those 50 years, more than 25,000 boys and girls between the age of 3 and 17 participate in the greatest outdoor league in North America. None of it would be possible without the continuous support of the City of Toronto, Toronto Parks and Recreation, all of the past and present sponsors, and countless hours by the thousands of volunteers.

We have been supporters of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada for over a decade. This is a charity very dear to us and welcomes all the external backing we can get. Separate from our donations we partake in an annual event called “Light The Night” which takes place downtown starting at Nathan Philips Square and we walk a route with illuminated lanterns held high. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK © Etobicoke will have a team in the “Light The Night” walk on Thursday, October 19, 2017.

Throughout November, Brad Wheeler, has been growing a MO for a good cause. Along with many other Canadians he has been growing a moustache to bring awareness and raise money for research into improving men's physical and mental health. During the month he has donated $5 from every move completed to the cause. 

Recently, celebrating their 25 years, we are proud to sponsor Etobicoke Dolphins Girls Hockey League! Their league is for all ages and skill levels and everything in between! 

Jays Care Foundation was founded in 1992 to teach children essential skills such as teamwork, leadership and resiliency.  They recognized there was an uneven playing field for youth and began the task of levelling it out. The primary focus of the foundation is to help marginalized groups get the chance to step up to the plate, regardless of gender, ethnicity or ability.  Their main focus is on Girls, Child/Youth Living with Disabilities and Children/Youth Living at or below the poverty line.  Special programs created for special children and youth.  Jays Care Foundation has also created Unstoppable  Kids Challenges for parents and children to help families continue to nurture each child’s unstoppable nature while staying fit and having fun!

As Season Ticket Holders, we see all the donations in action during Junior Jays Days or the many other events throughout the year that focus on children!  To say we are proud to support the Jays Care Foundation would be an understatement
