2020 Holiday Drive for St. John's

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!

Make a Shoebox

Each Shoebox is special and made unique with your personal touch. It's fun and rewarding and every Shoebox helps a woman experiencing homelessness remember that she is loved and valuable.

Become an Organizer

Making a Shoebox is a great activity to do with your friends, family, coworkers, or any other group of people in your life! Host a party and do something good. Every Shoebox counts!

Corporate Donations

Items or in-kind donations are gladly accepted and will be used to fill even more Shoeboxes. If your company would like to donate, please contact us. 

Spread the Word

We need help to spread the word in your community. Please consider giving us a shout out or sharing what you're doing on social media. It really helps!
