The Montréal Shoebox Project

​français

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.

Our Past Work

In 2013, Marcèle Lamarche, the director of Le Chaînon shelter, wrote the following to us:

"I would like to express once again my most sincere gratitude for the wonderful Christmas gift shoeboxes we received from you a few days before December 25th. It is amazing how those boxes carried so many products along with messages of solidarity from our community towards women in need who seek shelter, help and hope at Le Chaînon. On a personal note, may I add that for homeless women who search for a roof, a meal and a bed every single night at Le Chaînon and whose shoes are worn out, the shoebox is a strong symbol of sisterhood."

Thank You to Our Sponsors

Thank you to our generous sponsors: Ardene, Biotherm, Coty and McKesson.
