Partnering for Impact
Everyone has a role to play in ending gender-based violence. Our partnerships with local law enforcement and private security firms allow us to maintain a safe environment for our clients and volunteers. Large corporate partners and small businesses show they care for their community by providing financial and in-kind resources needed to help survivors through Shelter Movers.
Building a Community
Shelter Movers brings together a community of volunteers dedicated to ending gender-based violence. Volunteers benefit from trauma-informed training, meeting like-minded people and making a difference in their own communities. As allies in the movement men, in particular, have an opportunity to be part of a community that serves women fleeing violence on their own terms.
