ORGANIZATION: Shelter Movers

  • 45 people are interested

About Us

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. We are the only organization of our kind in Canada, and our volunteers are no less exceptional. We are growing and looking to add caring and compassionate people to our volunteer team.

Position Summary

Movers and Drivers are the "boots on the ground" and are essential to our organization’s mission. In a group of 2 - 6 movers and drivers, volunteers pack and load a client’s belongings into vehicles and transport the client to predetermined locations. Vehicles are provided for moves, and movers who have a valid driver’s license are welcome to register as drivers.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way. Moves usually vary from 4 - 6 hours, depending on the circumstances. Our volunteering model is flexible and does not require a set time commitment. Volunteers sign up for moves as per their availability.
