Thank You for your support!

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

Thank you to the Philadelphia Flyers and their fans for your generous support!

Lauren knows that women are the backbone of every family and believes that when we support and encourage women, we make better stronger communities.
