Connecticut Local Coordinator

I am very excited about the opportunity to work with The Shoebox Project. As a busy working mother with two young boys, I am always trying to show them the importance of helping others and giving back to the community. 
I am fortunate to have the support of many strong women in my life and I truly love that this organization empowers women to see that if they believe in themselves as much as we all believe in them - anything is possible!

Our Shoeboxes go to Women Accessing the Following Agencies:
