Homeless women and children need your help! Create personal care packages by donating decorated shoeboxes filled with toiletries. Shoeboxes will be distributed to homeless women and children on Mother's Day. Please make sure your box can be opened for safety inspections. Please submit all boxes by May 1.                       

DONATE!

Encourage your family, friends and co-workers to fill a shoebox with a combination of new, unopened toiletry items.
