The Shoebox Project

About the Organization

The Shoebox Project for Women is proudly a national registered Canadian charity with volunteer run chapters in every province across Canada. Our mission is to uplift and empower women who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness through in-kind support, education, and community participation.

Our Approach:
We build compassionate and connected communities
Through volunteer-led gift drives that benefit women who are
impacted by homelessness.

We support women and gender-diverse people facing
income inequality
‍By distributing essentials of daily living to shelters and
community agencies.

We challenge stigmas, fight discrimination, and promote equity
‍By building awareness and educating youth.

What is a Shoebox Gift?

March of Dimes Canada

Nonprofit
March of Dimes Canada is a leading national charity committed to championing equity, empowering ability, and creating real change that will help the more than six million people living with disabilities across the country unlock the richness of their lives. We serve, connect, and empower people living with disabilities to participate fully in life — on their own terms. Our work is grounded in the voices of the people we serve, built on a foundation of service, and backed by a 70-year history of success. We’ve proven time and again our dedication to addressing the ongoing and urgent needs of people living with disabilities, as well as their families and caregivers. Born in the last great public health epidemic, we know that seemingly-impossible goals can be achieved and barriers can be broken. In the 1950s, March of Dimes Canada helped in the global effort to find a cure for polio. We’ve since evolved to become a recognized leader in disability service design and delivery, supporting people at home, work, and in their communities with unparalleled reach and impact. Now, inspired and guided by our community, we’re expanding our horizons even further. Together with our clients, partners, supporters, and allies, we are working to create communities in which people living with disabilities can not only live, but thrive in all they aspire to do.
