A personally crafted gift that contains a mix of essential everyday items and small luxuries that you or any woman would love!
Find a Local Chapter near you accepting physical Shoebox donations.
Find a standard Shoebox (approximately 14"x8"x5") and wrap it, or use a pre-decorated giftbox.
Fill your Shoebox with all must-haves (see list below).
Write an inspirational message of support.
Drop it off at your Local Chapter’s designated drop-off locations.
Share your photos on social media using the hashtag #ShoeboxProject.
Leave your Shoebox gift unsealed. Wrap the top and bottom of the Shoebox separately so that it can be opened for inspection.
Your gift should look as beautiful as the woman who will receive it - make sure the wrapping has no rips & tears.
Do not include bows or ornaments, as Shoeboxes will be stacked.
* Pro-tip: watch our tutorial on how to wrap a Shoebox.
