THE SHOEBOX PROJECT FOR WOMEN
KYLA SHARES A LOOK AT HER DRASTIC CHANGE FROM BLONDE TO BOLD BRUNETTE.
The Shoebox Project for Women goes virtual for 2020, allowing women to safely donate beautiful gifts to those impacted by homelessness in Canada & the US.
Founded in Toronto, The Shoebox Project is a cause committed to collecting and distributing wrapped shoeboxes, filled with gifts for women. Each box donated is beautifully wrapped, containing $50 in thoughtfully curated gift items aimed to raise it’s recipient’s self-esteem and reduce her feelings of isolation.
Since it’s 2011, the cause has grown immensely. From gifting 400 to 245,000 Shoeboxes! To date, they’re responsible for distributing over 12 million dollars in gifts. The mission began delivering boxes to residents of four Toronto women’s shelters and now has about 70 volunteer-run Local Chapters globally. The organization credits word of mouth and the support of loyal sponsors for it’s rapid grow.

2020 has presented obstacles, but The Shoebox Project was up to the challenge! The new virtual gifting experience allows you to build your own shoebox to donate to the cause.
In an effort to keep volunteers & communities healthy and safe, The Shoebox Project will not be collecting Shoeboxes this year, but supporters will still have the opportunity to give a special gift and thoughtful message directly to a local woman in their community.
By supporting their
#VirtualShoebox
campaign, you can let a local woman impacted by homelessness know that she has not been forgotten this holiday season.
What is a Virtual Shoebox?
A virtual Shoebox is the fun and thoughtful experience of putting together a gift for a local woman in need. The items you select are representations only, meaning your purchase is considered a monetary donation to The Shoebox Project. 100% of your purchase will go directly toward supporting women in your local community.
