I am excited to be working with The Shoebox Project for Shelters this holiday season. As a teacher and a mom, it's important to me to teach my students and my own children the importance of giving back. After learning more about the project, I knew I wanted to do be a part of this simple, yet powerful concept, of helping women in crisis feel empowered and better about themselves as they move toward getting their lives back. 

Our Shoeboxes go to Women Accessing the Following Agencies:

Casa Nueva Vida
Families in Transition
Janice's House 
​Lawrence Community Center
Lazaurus House

Make a Shoebox

Each Shoebox is special and made unique with your personal touch. It's fun and rewarding and every Shoebox helps a woman experiencing homeless remember that she is loved and valuable.

Become an Organizer

Making a Shoebox is a great activity to do with your friends, family, coworkers, or any other group of people in your life! Host a party and do something good. Every Shoebox counts!
