OUR COORDINATOR

Kate Trgovac
Kate has been involved with The Shoebox Project for Shelters for many years in Vancouver.  "I love everything about the Shoebox Project for Shelters! The personal and 1:1 nature of the boxes. Supporting women on a local community level while being part of a national team to raise awareness. And meeting caring and compassionate volunteers in my city. We had such an amazing 2014! Really looking forward to 2015! Thank you, Vancouver!" You can connect with Kate on Twitter as @mynameiskate or reach her at vancouver@shoeboxproject.com
