I truly believe that small indulgences like those in
the Shoeboxes make women feel valued and loved. This support and care can truly change the lives of the women who receive them. Women caring for women is a powerful force for change. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this.

Deb Schenk
Local Chapter Coordinator, Victoria/South Vancouver Island

This initiative shows women that they're not alone, that their community cares, and that there's hope. I firmly believe that we're stronger together and that's what fuels my passion for this cause. Giving back brings me immense joy, knowing these small gestures can fill the hearts of these incredible women with love, hope and dignity.

Nimi Clare-Hemani
Local Chapter Coordinator, Kitchener-Waterloo

I was introduced to the Shoebox Project through my workplace and was inspired by the support it offers women in need. While delivering shoeboxes one night, a shelter worker shared that the shelter had once saved her life. She had no one, and receiving a shoebox during the holidays meant a lot. Now she works there. I've never forgotten her story. Volunteering with The Shoebox Project has shown me how small acts of kindness can have a big impact. Even my kids have learned how giving a little time can mean the world to someone.
