Chatham-Kent Local Coordinator

Sarah Weaver is looking forward to bringing The Shoebox Project to Chatham-Kent this year. She believes it is crucial to actively engage the community and advocate on behalf of important causes that aim to make Chatham-Kent a better place to live. The Shoebox Project gives Sarah the opportunity to recognize and support women who find themselves in need in CK. Let's work together to make sure every woman in CK gets a gift this holiday season!
