2020 Holiday Gift Drive

​Support our Virtual Shoebox Campaign!

Unfortunately, to protect the health and safety of our communities, we will not be collecting Shoeboxes this year.

We are still working hard to make sure no woman living in a shelter feels forgotten or alone this holiday season. ​But we can't do it alone!

Here's how you can help:
100% of your donation will go toward purchasing gift cards and essentials for local women impacted by homelessness.

Seeking a Local Coordinator

We are recruiting a new Local Coordinator for this area!
