The Shoebox Project for Women is an unaffiliated, non-religious, Canadian charity that supports women experiencing or at-risk-of homelessness, and that celebrates diversity, builds awareness, challenges stigma and promotes equity.
When we use the term ‘women’ we use it in an inclusive manner and are mindful of the diverse and intersecting identities of the people who we support.
Our Mission
To uplift and empower women who are experiencing or at-risk-of homelessness through in-kind support, education, and community participation.
Our Approach
By distributing essentials of daily living to shelters and community agencies, we support women and gender-diverse people facing income inequality.
By building awareness and educating youth, we challenge stigmas, fight discrimination, and promote equity.
Our Vision
To foster equitable communities where all women are seen, valued, and treated with dignity and compassion.
