Thank You for your support!

​Thank you to everyone who supported our Virtual Shoebox Drive in 2020! We are so grateful that we were able to provide gifts to local women impacted by homelessness during this particularly difficult time.

The drive is now over until next holiday season, but you can support our efforts all year long! 

Here's how you can help in the off-season:
  • Create a Virtual Shoebox 
  • Make a Donation to our Local Chapter
  • Get your Company Involved
  • Fundraise for our Local Chapter​

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

I'm very excited to be an ambassador of The Shoebox Project for Women and to lead an incredible community of volunteers for Toronto Central! 

I believe that everyone, regardless of circumstance, deserves to feel acknowledged and to feel loved. This holiday season, I look forward to joining others in making a difference in the lives of women impacted by homelessness.  Most importantly, I'm motivated to honour and empower these women by demonstrating the community of support they have behind them and that they are valued in their community. 
Email our wonderful team at
