ORGANIZATION: Shelter Movers

  • 7 people are interested

Shelter Movers is a volunteer-powered organization that provides free moving & storage services to survivors of gender-based violence.

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.
