Working in public service, I am committed to helping my community. Saint John is known for its generosity and spirit of giving, and I am fortunate to work with many organizations and businesses who share this passion for helping others. There are many women who are at-risk in our community. Shoeboxes are a way of acknowledging the barriers they face, while ensuring that they are seen, supported, and uplifted. The Shoebox Project drives positive change by demonstrating that small acts of kindness can make a world of difference.
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 Kingston Chapter is currently without the necessary leadership to keep this Chapter active. If you are interested in this rewarding Volunteer opportunity to bring this chapter back to your community to support women in the region, please click here to learn more and apply!

The Saint John Shoebox Project occupies the ancestral, traditional and contemporary lands of the Mi’kma’ki First Nations, Wabanaki (Dawnland Confederacy), Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet). In particular, our Chapter resides on land ceded in the Peace & Friendship Treaty. 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.
