Forget about thinking outside the box. It’s what’s inside that counts.
Special occasions, such as Christmas, can be a particularly challenging time of year for people who’ve been displaced from their homes and separated from their families.
To make things a bit easier, The Shoebox Project collects and distributes gift-filled shoeboxes to women experiencing homelessness to help lift their spirits during the holiday season.
Since they began back in 2011, they’ve handed out over 402,000 shoeboxes and raised $2.6 million in donations. They continue to grow each year and have chapters all across Canada, including right here in Edmonton.
It’s easy to participate! All you need to do is fill a standard-sized shoebox with $50 worth of items such as body wash, lip balm, socks, chocolate or a gift card. You can even add a personalized note for that extra special touch!
If you don’t have the time to put together a shoebox yourself, you can create a virtual shoebox or simply make an online donation. Volunteers will then use every dollar collected to provide gift cards and essential items for women experiencing homelessness in the Edmonton area.
This small gesture of kindness makes a huge difference! The Edmonton Shoebox Project offers a meaningful way to give back and to remind those who are facing challenges in our area that they haven’t been forgotten.
