The Shoebox Project was founded in 2011 by four sisters-in-law-Caroline Mulroney Lapham and Jessica, Vanessa and Katy Mulroney.
We were looking for a hands-on way to give back in our community. We asked our friends to fill a shoebox with little luxuries that they would enjoy, to decorate the box and drop it off to us. We delivered our gift boxes along with the hundred others we received to more women that we could have expected. Through word-of-mouth, and social media, we have grown in a big way!
It is our hope that we are able to brighten the days of women living in our country's shelters and let them know that their community does care about them.
We also hope that those people who have been inspired to participate will gain a deeper understanding of abuse, poverty and mental illness - all factors contributing to women's homelessness in North America. The Shoebox Project collects and distributes gifts in the form of shoeboxes to women in shelters in the United States and Canada.
