Since 2011, what began as a small-scale, grassroots way to help women has blossomed into a registered Canadian charity with over 45 volunteer-driven local chapters across the country. The annual Holiday Shoebox Drive campaign begins Nov. 13 and runs until Dec. 11. The local chapter began in 2013, and the Shoebox Project has been making a positive difference in the lives of Manitoba women ever since. Through the collection and distribution of gift-filled shoeboxes and messages of support, the goal is to share kindness and compassion with local women affected by homelessness.
