Campbell River

2020 Holiday Drive for Campbell River and Port Hardy/North Island:

Support our #VirtualShoebox Campaign!

Unfortunately, to protect the health and safety of our communities, we will not be collecting Shoeboxes this year.

We are still working hard to make sure no woman living in a shelter or experiencing homelessness feels forgotten or alone this holiday season. But we can't do it alone! Our goal this year is 410 Gift Cards valuing $50 for local vulnerable women; 360 for Campbell River and 50 for the North Island.

Here's how you can help:

Create a Virtual Shoebox (Choose the Campbell River Chapter. For Port Hardy/North Island, indicate in the message upon checkout.)
Make a Donation to our Local Chapter (Choose the Campbell River Chapter. For Port Hardy/North Island, indicate in the Notes.)
Get your Company Involved
Fundraise for our Local Chapter
Drop off Gift Cards (up to $50 value) along with an inspirational message between November 12th and December 9th, 2020.

100% of your donation will go toward purchasing gift cards for local women impacted by homelessness.

The Holiday campaign will go until Wednesday December 9th.
