United Way Shoebox Project

2012 United Way Shoebox Project 




Homeless women and children need our help. Create personal care packages by donating a decorated shoebox filled with toiletries. Shoeboxes will be distributed to homeless women and children on Mother’s Day.

Go wild with your box. No decorating/design limits.
Visit them on Facebook, United Way.

Anyone in GA interested in participating in this as a group, please e-mail me, DiTzyDoodle, so we can discuss a SHOEBOX PARTY!
If you would like to donate some shoeboxes please e-mail me as well.

Please submit all boxes between March 1 and May 1. Please make sure your box can be opened for safety inspections.

FedEx will pick up from locations that collect 150+ shoeboxes. The last day to schedule a pickup is April 20.
