Notre histoire…

Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and storage services at no cost to individuals and families fleeing abuse. We collaborate with local businesses and community agencies to support people, primarily women and children, as they transition to a life free of violence.

Shelter Movers Ottawa was the second chapter, opening in October 2017.     

Volunteering with SMO, you’ll meet professionals, students, and retirees. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and have varying experiences. Most importantly, you’ll meet our clients. And these clients will share their stories with you and leaving a lasting impact on their lives, much like you’ve left a lasting impact on theirs.

The Impact of Giving

Your donation, big or small, makes a huge difference to survivors in our community. 

*Teresa is a pseudonym to protect the identity of the survivor.

Teresa is at a place in her journey where chatting through email feels most comfortable. She wants to help other women know they have options, that they’re not alone.  

“It’s hard to leave…fear of the unknown, lack of finances, or the stories we tell ourselves.

But I love him.
 He’s not always this way.
 How can I survive on my own?

In the end, no matter what your abuser tells you, he will not change. The abuse will get worse and we deserve better.”

"The people at Shelter Movers were great. They were there to help me move my belongings to my new, safe home. They were very supportive and kind. My stress levels are so much lower. I am no longer on eggshells all the time and I am able to sleep better.

The stories I tell myself are slowly changing.

I don’t need him. 
 He’s not going to change.
 I will survive on my own.

Thank you so much for all of the support I received from Shelter Movers.”
