The Shoebox Project for Shelters (French: Opération boîte à chaussures pour refuges) is a Canadian registered charity based in Toronto, Ontario.
"[4] It serves to let women living in or accessing shelters and outreach centers know their community cares about them and values them.
The Shoebox Project operates more than 35 chapters across the U.S. and Canada including in San Francisco,[5] New York City,[6] Vancouver,[3] Montreal,[7] and Ottawa.
[11][8] The idea for the charity stemmed from the efforts of Jessica's mother to collect donations for shelters in Montreal.
[11] The sisters-in-law decided to do a similar initiative to benefit the Red Door Family Shelter in Toronto.
