This year, the Shoebox Project is aiming to bring smiles and warmth to over 600 women across Campbell River, Port Hardy, and the North Island.

Each shoebox should hold items worth $50, suggestions include: a $10 gift card, essential daily items, a few small luxuries, something to keep warm, and a touching, inspirational note.

How to Contribute

Donors can drop off their shoeboxes at designated locations, from Nov 12th to Dec 6th:

In Campbell River:

📦Coastal Community Credit Union (Discovery Harbour)
📦La Tee Da Lingerie (Shoppers Row)
📦Classy Katz Consignment (Willow Point)

In Port Hardy:

📦North Island Crisis & Counselling Centre Society

For those who prefer to support virtually, there are plenty of options available. You can create a virtual shoebox, make an online donation to the local chapter, or even get your company involved. Fundraising or hosting a “Shoebox-Raiser” are also great ways to contribute.

100% of donations directly support local women affected by homelessness, helping to purchase gift cards and necessary items. Each contribution, no matter the form, is a heartfelt gesture that makes a real difference.

Join the Holiday Spirit

The Campbell River Shoebox Project thanks all donors for their continued generosity and support. Together, they create a season of giving and warmth, one shoebox at a time.
