Bring The Shoebox Project to your school and spread kindness throughout your community
Shoebox gift drives can come in all shapes and sizes – from a small holiday gathering with friends to an official school club that hosts events all year long. The objective is the same – to offer gift-filled Shoeboxes and messages of support to local women and girls who are struggling with homelessness. We are here to help you achieve your goals and make as big of an impact as possible in your community.
Register below to get involved. We will contact you with further information on how to get started.
You can also download instructions on how to put together a Shoebox and run a successful gift drive at your school.
Our Local Chapters are always thrilled to receive handmade cards from youth that they can pass on to women impacted by homelessness along with our special gifts. Contact your local chapter to learn more about making and donating handmade cards.
