The Detroit Shoebox Project

2020 Holiday Drive for Detroit

Thank you to everyone who supported our Virtual Shoebox Drive in 2020! We are so grateful that we were able to provide gifts to local women impacted by homelessness during this particularly difficult time.

The drive is now over until next holiday season, but you can support our efforts all year long! 

Here's how you can help in the off-season:
  • Create a Virtual Shoebox 
  • Make a Donation to our Local Chapter
  • Get your Company Involved
  • Fundraise for our Local Chapter​

100% of your donation will go toward purchasing gift cards and essentials for local women impacted by homelessness.
