Shoebox Project
Every year, we work with volunteers, corporations and nonprofit partners to provide thousands of shoeboxes filled with toiletries to homeless men, women and children. Join us by dropping off filled boxes, hosting your own Shoebox Project party, donating money and purchasing items from our Amazon Wishlist.
