“Shelter Movers Southwestern Ontario brings together a team of approximately 120 volunteers who support individuals and families fleeing abuse across Waterloo-Wellington, Brant, Hamilton-Wentworth, Haldimand-Norfolk, Huron-Perth, and surrounding areas. Completing more than 300 moves each year, the Southwestern Ontario team helps remove the financial, safety, emotional, and logistical barriers survivors are often faced with when fleeing abuse. Their strong partnerships with community agencies, police, private security, and local businesses ensure that every move is completed safely and with deep respect for the survivor’s experience. Grounded in trauma-informed, client-centered care, the team empowers survivors and their children to start their journey of a violence-free life with dignity and their cherished belongings.”
