The Shoebox Project for Women is an unaffiliated, non-religious, Canadian charity that supports women experiencing or at-risk-of homelessness, that celebrates diversity, builds awareness, challenges stigma and promotes equity.

Our use of the term ‘women’ is intentionally inclusive, embracing and honoring the diverse, intersecting identities of everyone we support.
