Shoe-box drive supports women impacted by homelessness

The Brantford /Haldimand/Norfolk Shoebox Project launched its holiday drive earlier this month and it’s not too late to donate.

The Shoebox Project supports local women impacted by homelessness during the holiday season. Running now, until November 29th , you can donate a Shoebox at the Brantford Public Library (St. Paul branch), the Brantford Firehall (Clarence St) and Brantford Toyota.

This holiday season, fill a standard-sized, decorated Shoebox with approximately $50 worth of gifts and essentials that any woman might enjoy, and include a warm greeting or message of support. Volunteers distribute these gifts to local women’s shelters and community agencies serving women impacted by homelessness across Canada. Shelters supported by the Haldimand Norfolk Brant Shoebox project are Nova Vita Domestic Violence Prevention Services, Why Not Youth Resource, Ganohkwasra Family Assault Support Services, Six Nations Justice Department, Victim Services of Brant and Branford Native House Whether you donate a Shoebox virtually or in-person, make an online Donation, or contribute in-kind items for a shoe box, it is more than just a gift. It is a rare and powerful reminder that we all matter.
