2020 Holiday Drive for Worcester



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

​We still very much need your help to make sure local women impacted by homelessness receive a special gift and feel supported by their community.  You can make a financial donation now, or stay tuned for more info on our virtual holiday campaign coming this Fall!

After donating to The Shoebox Project project through my corporation in the 2018 holiday season, I was inspired to open a chapter within my own community. I feel truly blessed to engage my local community to join me in giving back by enhancing the self-esteem and empowering women in crisis.
