Hi, I’m Shaunna and I’m the Local Chapter Coordinator for Cardiff. I really believe a little kindness goes a long way and I’m so pleased to be part of an initiative like the Shoebox Project that reminds women that they are not alone. In my role, I’d like to create a sense of hope and community for women affected by homelessness and provide opportunities for others in Cardiff to engage also. If you have any questions or have any interest in joining the Shoebox Project, just let me know!
Thank you for your participation in our 2022 Holiday Campaign! Whether you are a volunteer, a Shoebox creator, a corporate team, or an in-kind or monetary donor, you are invaluable to us! Our success relies on your empathy and your will to help communities thrive. We can’t thank you enough, as we couldn’t do what we do without your kindness and generosity.
Keep an eye out on this page for more events in 2023. Until then, you can support our efforts all year long!

Reducing the feelings of isolation and loneliness faced by women impacted by homelessness is one of the most important outcomes of The Shoebox Project. Women who are experiencing homelessness or living in unstable or unsafe conditions often report feeling disconnected from their community, invisible and alone. A Shoebox gift not only contains essentials and gifts that are much appreciated by the women we serve, but it’s also a rare gesture of kindness from one community member to another, and serves as a powerful reminder for a woman that she is seen, valued and cared for.
