Hi, I’m Marissa. I have been involved with the Shoebox Project for over 10 years, curating and delivering carefully selective items to women’s shelters in the Montreal area, I am a lover of footwear and sell to many Canadian Retailers across Canada! I Am an especially Proud Mom to an amazing boy, who I take along with me when collecting, making boxes, and doing shelter drop-offs, for the beautiful women in our lives. I am a firm believer, that we all have the time to give a little, especially to causes that directly affect our hearts!
While we are searching for a local coordinator for this chapter, our agencies are still being supported. If you are interested in being a local coordinator, please click here to learn more about the role and apply.

Our holiday drive has officially come to an end, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation to those in our community who donated, volunteered, and supported us to reach our goals. Your generosity helped make the holiday season special for the women we serve.
Thank you for standing with women and helping us create lasting impact each and every year. We look forward to all that 2026 will bring and we invite you to join us as we continue our mission again next season!

"The Montréal Shoebox Project occupies the ancestral, traditional and contemporary lands of the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka (Mohawk), Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee). In particular, our Chapter resides on land ceded in the Great Peace of Montréal, 1701. We recognize and support the Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and those who were forcibly removed from their homelands. In offering this land acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history and experiences."
