About
7th Annual Shoebox Project
April 7 – May 28
Individuals and organizations throughout Bexar County are invited to donate shoeboxes filled with everyday toiletries to be distributed to 64 of our nonprofit partners. Over 10,500 boxes have been requested to help those in need.
Basic comforts such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and other personal-care items are a luxury for many San Antonio children, veterans, elderly, homeless and vulnerable populations. Change a life today by participating in the Shoebox Project.
Jump in Feet First!
Make the path ahead a little brighter for someone else. Decorate shoeboxes with family, friends or coworkers. Fill them with hygiene items. Please make sure your box(es) can be opened for safety inspections. You can also donate items and we will fill a box for you.
Items needed: Adhesive bandages, baby wipes, conditioner, shampoo, soap/body wash, deodorant, hair comb/brush, lotion, hand sanitizer, toothbrush, toothpaste, sanitary napkins/liners, tampons
Items not accepted: Food, medicine, mouthwash, razors, sewing kits, used or opened items
Drop-off completed boxes at The Ettling Center for Civic Leadership and Sustainability @ 4301 Broadway, San Antonio TX, 78209. Our office is located in AD Building #158.
Each donated shoebox will earn 4 hours of community service. When submitting your impact, please upload a picture of your donated shoebox.
