Kamloops Shoebox Project gathering donations to be distributed to women in need
KAMLOOPS — Come Christmas Day, hundreds of women throughout the city will be opening up specially crafted boxes from the Kamloops Shoebox Project. All containing something sweet, something thoughtful, something warm, and something useful.
The local chapter is headed by sisters Marisa and Taylor Bertoli – who hope the boxes can lift the spirits of women who might be going through a difficult time, or have been impacted by homelessness.
“We believe that by empowering one woman, we can lift up the entire community and cause a ripple effect, not only through the City of Kamloops, but through generations,” Taylor Bertoli told CFJC.
