Kane Co. Cougars partner with Two Men and a Truck to help mothers in need
The Kane County Cougars have announced that Northwestern Medicine Field will serve as a donation drop-off site for the Two Men and a Truck Movers for Moms program beginning on opening night, April 6.
Thousands of mothers across the country are overlooked each Mother's Day due to circumstances that force them to live in shelters as a result of domestic abuse or homelessness. That's where Two Men and a Truck steps in to ensure that these women receive the love and appreciation they deserve this Mother's Day. Donations collected through the Movers for Moms program will be provided to women staying at Mutual Ground in Aurora and Lazarus House in St. Charles.
Beginning April 6, fans are encouraged to bring donations of the following essential care items: body spray, soaps, hair styling products, towels, makeup brushes, pajamas, large tote bags and umbrellas.
Drop off new, unopened essential care items at the Kane County Cougars ballpark for delivery to local women's shelters. Much needed items include: gift cards for McDonalds, Starbucks, Forever Yogurt or Dairy Queen; flip‐flops sizes 6 to 10; yoga pants, 2X to 3X; zip‐up hoodies XL to 3XL; body spray; thin point markers; gift cards for Walmart, Jewel or gas; or underwear in small, medium or large; pajamas in medium to 2X.
Representatives from Two Men And A Truck will be collecting donations inside of Gate 3 on April 6, 17, 27 and May 8.
A Movers for Moms donation bin also will be located inside the atrium of the Cougars front office at Northwestern Medicine Field for fans that would like to drop off donations during regular business hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Donations will be accepted through Friday, May 12.
