Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and storage services at no cost to women and children fleeing abuse. Shelter Movers is the only service of its kind in Canada and since 2016 they have completed over 3,400 moves, transitioning women and their children to lives free of abuse. Shelter Movers Ottawa currently serves an approximate 100km radius from Ottawa centre and in 2022 they will extend their services to 200km to include areas such as Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry, Leeds & Grenville, and Lanark. The support from ODBF will help with the initial establishment of a local volunteer team, storage space, security services and vehicle rentals.
