Shelter Movers provides moving and storage services at no cost to women and
children fleeing abuse. We are the only service of this kind in Canada, and our
volunteers are no less exceptional. Every year, in collaboration with community
partners, our volunteer teams contribute over 15,000 hours to support people
transitioning to lives free of violence and abuse.
Shelter Movers continues to operate and provide our unique moving and storage
services, notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic. We have implemented
stringent safety measures to protect our volunteers, staff, partners and clients.
While we all do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 by staying home, we
must remember that home isn’t always a safe place for many. Those
experiencing abuse are enduring more time in isolation with their abuser.
Additionally, job loss and financial insecurity have also become more prevalent
during the pandemic, statistically leading to an increase in gender-based
violence. Shelter Movers has experienced a 30% increase in the demands for our
services since the beginning of the pandemic.
