Local Coordinator

Shaunna Latchman

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!

Please note that we do not issue charitable tax receipts for donations of Shoebox gifts.

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.
