The Shoebox Project for Women

The Shoebox Project for Women is an unaffiliated, non-religious, registered Canadian charity with over 50 volunteer-driven Local Chapters. The mission of the organization is to share empathy, kindness and compassion with local women impacted by homelessness through the collection and distribution of gift-filled Shoeboxes and messages of support.

Founded in 2011 in Toronto, Canada, the organization works through community-created, volunteer-lead chapters who partner with women’s shelters and community agencies, servicing women impacted by, or at risk of, homelessness.
