St. John's Local Coordinator

Mackenzie Fudge
I am a communications professional who grew up surrounded by strong, intelligent and kind women who showed me how powerful and capable we are when we lift each other up and support one another. By volunteering, donating and supporting the shoebox project, we are supporting and uplifting women within our community. While these shoeboxes may seem like small, material, items, they are so much more and can help someone build confidence, feel valued and let them know that we care about them as an individual.

Our Shoeboxes go to Women Accessing the Following Agencies:

AIDS Committee of NL 
St. Johns Womens Centre 
Choices For Youth
Mama Moments
Stella’s Circle 
Naomi's Centre
Iris Kirby House
Safe Harbour Out reach 
Thrive
