Mission Statement
Our Mission: 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.
Description
The Shoebox Project for Shelters is a public charity that collects and distributes gift-filled Shoeboxes to women in communities across Canada:#833095045RR0001, the US: EIN #61-1793315 and Uk: #1182663, who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. Each thoughtfully created and decorated Shoebox gift is filled with items that can help enhance self-esteem and reduce feelings of isolation for women in crisis.
Our Approach:
Through volunteer-led gift drives that benefit women who are impacted by homelessness, we build compassionate and connected communities
By distributing essentials of daily living to shelters and community agencies, we support women and gender-diverse people facing income inequality.
By building awareness and educating youth, we challenge stigmas, fight discrimination, and promote equity.
