The Shoebox Project for Women

Our mission is to uplift and empower women who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness through in-kind support, education and community participation. Our vision is to foster equitable communities where all women are seen, valued, and treated with dignity and compassion. For women who have been displaced from their homes and estranged from their families, special occasions can be particularly challenging. Often, women report feeling disconnected from society, invisible and alone.  A Shoebox gift is a powerful reminder for a woman that she has not been forgotten and that she remains a valued and respected member of her community. For those giving gifts, The Shoebox Project is a tangible and creative opportunity to give back directly to someone in your very own community. It’s a small, simple gesture of kindness that has an immediate, positive impact on the woman who receives it.
