Shoebox Project at 889!
November 24, 2017 | by 889 Guest Happiness Team
This holiday season, we’re GIVING back!
We’re partnering with The Shoebox Project, an organization that distributes gifts in the form of Shoeboxes to women who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness in communities across Canada and the US. Each thoughtfully created and decorated Shoebox is filled with items valued at $50 that can enhance self-esteem and reduce feelings of isolation for women in crisis.
Join us on Monday December 11th for a holiday open house at the studio where we can create these gifts together. Please join us for a hot drink, some snacks, and the chance to create the Shoeboxes together as a community.
Here’s how you can contribute:
- Join us at the event! Bring in your shoeboxes and individual items to donate to Shoeboxes which we’ll put together at our event. Here is a list of suggested items: http://www.shoeboxproject.com/uploads/5/7/0/2/57028085/shoebox_shoppers_2.pdf
- Can’t make it to the event? Prep your own Shoebox and bring it to the studio for donation by December 11th. Here are easy directions for making your Shoebox: http://www.shoeboxproject.com/uploads/5/7/0/2/57028085/11×17.png. You can also pick up a pre-wrapped Shoebox (limited supply) from 889.
Be sure to bring any donations, a full shoebox or single items, in by December 11th!
If you’re looking for a way to embrace the true giving of the holidays and positively impact your community in a small but invaluable way, please join us. We look forward to feeling the warmth of our community in one magical day on December 11th!
