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.
