2020 Holiday Drive for Campbell River and the North Island:

We're Going Virtual!



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

​We still very much need your help to make sure local women impacted by homelessness receive a special gift and feel supported by their community.  You can make a financial donation now, or stay tuned for more info on our virtual holiday campaign coming this Fall!
