The shoebox project for women is dedicated to making the holiday season a little bit brighter for those facing adversity. I learned about the shoebox project a few years ago, and I knew this was something special that I wanted to be a part of. It is a profound testament that small acts of kindness can make a big impact. In these shoeboxes women have found more than gifts they discover a community that cares, supports, and lets them know they matter, and they have not been forgotten. Thank you for supporting The Polk County Shoebox for Women.

This holiday season, fill a standard-sized, decorated Shoebox with approximately $50 worth of gifts and essentials that any woman might enjoy, and include a warm greeting or message of support. Our volunteers distribute these gifts to local women’s shelters and community agencies serving women impacted by homelessness across the USA.
