That seemed to big a large point in the two posts regarding our company.

Yes Good Shepherd does cater specifically to women and children but they are only one of the organizations we have partnered with. We have another organization that we are alligned with called Interface in Ventura County includes ALL victims of domestic violence and even assists in the treatment of the abusers and getting them counselling.

I personally have moved a male victim of domestic violence when I worked in the field a couple years ago so as a company we have connections for this type of assistance.

That is the sole reason for our partnerships with these organizations is to prevent abuse of the system. They have the resources to differentiate people who truly are in need of help and we have the resources to get them out quickly.

In short if someone come to use looking for free services for domestic violence we direct them to one of the organizations we are aligned with to assist them. Those organizations such as Good Shepherd will contact us to move them.

I honestly am not sure on their end. I am absolutely positive there are organizations that are able to help. We in fact are also partnered with an organization called Interface in Ventura County, CA that deals with male victims as well.

On a side note I feel as though the "Real man" narrative is more of a stance of men shouldn't abuse women. I also think "Real Women" shouldn't abuse men either.

At Meathead Movers the majority of our workforce are men in their early twenties which, after working with these organizations, is usually the biggest offender in the domestic violence issue. The fact is that no one should live in that environment and this is something that is ingrained in every employee, to help victims of domestic violence where ever they can.

Hello!

  1. We do not use bar codes or inventory on local moves (under 100 miles) since we only have 1 individual/ families items on our truck and do not have to worry about items being confused with other clients.

  2. Of course! If packing is necessary on the move we will bring out materials such as boxes and wrapping paper. All of our trucks are equipped with more than enough blankets and even specialty pads for appliances and the home to protect the items.

  3. We absolutely do commercial and residential moving for anyone and do about 1000 moves a month company wide. If you are looking for a commercial quote you can find it HERE

  4. We do not take video on moves. We are contracted, insured and licensed so we typically do not worry on that end.

Memorable Story: This happened about 4 years ago, we were doing a move for a woman who was a victim of domestic violence. She was incredibly nice, caring (asked if we needed water, made us lunch, etc.) and seemed like a genuinely great person. She was happy through the whole loading of her items which makes everything go by smooth.

After we had finished the service and she was safe and all moved into her new home. I asked her if she needed anything else and she burst into tears, she hugged our whole crew cried on my shoulder. She told us that she just realized that she was finally out and couldn't thank us enough. It felt great getting to help someone like this.

This is probably my most memorable move I ever had and won't soon forget it.

I answered your comment in the other post. Here is some information for you. I really hope it helps and I wish I could do more.

I would really recommend getting help. It looks like this organization http://www.corasupport.org/ is very close to you. Here is their number: 800.300.1080
