The San Francisco
​Shoebox Project

2020 Holiday Drive for San Francisco

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:
  • 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.

Homelessness in San Francisco

According to the 2017 Point-in-Time Count, the number of people experiencing homelessness in San Fran is 7,499. Experts agree that when you take into account the "hidden homeless" (ie. people who are couch surfing or living in unsuitable conditions), the number is closer to 10,000-12,000.

33%

33% of the homeless population in San Francisco identify as female and 30% identified as LGBTQ.

65%

65 percent of homeless respondents identified as an ethnic minority. An estimated 34% of homeless survey respondents were black, even though African-Americans make up only six percent of the city’s overall population.

About Me!
​As an activist, I been a strong advocate for women everywhere. Through my activism and
work,  I have organized several events encouraging change within communities and on a state wide
level for California.  As the former Shoebox Project lead coordinator for Los Angeles,  I built
relationships to help empower women to their highest potential, while ensuring their voices be heard within the political spectrum to create real change.  As a woman,  I understand the responsibility we all have to uplift ALL women with the tools that can help restructure their life and lead to better opportunities, regardless of economic hardships. That is why,  I will now be our new Shoebox Project Lead Coordinator for our  chapter in San Francisco, California.  I strongly believe that when you “empower women with their voice, you empower the world.”
