Yellow x THE SHOEBOX PROJECT

Women's day Shoe Box Project x Yellow Shoes

We celebrate International Women's Day, a special occasion to recognize the importance of women in our society and to support women in need. This year, at Yellow Shoes, we're committed to supporting this cause in partnership with the charitable organization THE SHOEBOX PROJECT.


THE SHOEBOX PROJECT aims to support women experiencing or at-risk-of homelessness by celebrating diversity, raising awareness, combating stigma, and promoting equity. As part of our partnership, Yellow will donate shoeboxes filled with everyday essentials and small luxury items.

Each thoughtfully assembled box will be distributed to a homeless or vulnerable woman, filled with essential items like personal care products (shampoo, soap, dental hygiene items), beauty products, treats, and other necessities, aiming to provide a bit of comfort and hope to those who need it most.

A step towards hope:
Our teams spent the day decorating shoeboxes to assist women in need, adding inspiring messages to each box to be given away.

Yellow donates over 100,000 pairs

Since the beginning of the year 2023, Yellow Shoes has worked hard to offer a generous donation of 92,494 pairs of shoes to Quebec families in need. This amount represents more than $4.8 million donated to a dozen charities across Quebec. This is a significant increase over the previous year, when the company donated 39,962 pairs of shoes.

"We understand the importance of having appropriate footwear and accessories for all seasons, and we believe that everyone deserves to have access to these basic necessities. Through these donations, we hope to make a positive impact in the lives of those who are experiencing hardship and provide a small comfort that can make a big difference to some. We believe in giving back to our community and will continue to work to support those in need where we can."  - Samuel Avrith, Director.

Engaging with the community

Over the years, Yellow Shoes has launched several initiatives to help needy families in various parts of the province. The company has recognized and responded to the socio economic challenges of recent years. These efforts include a monetary donation to Food Banks (Banques Alimentaires du Québec), the collection of foods for local organizations (Mile End Mission), and the distribution of considerable quantities of shoes to people from troubled backgrounds through charitable organizations. The company's staff takes great pride in being part of this ongoing effort and plays a crucial role in organizing and collecting donations.
