Rotary Club of Campbell River donates $1,500 to Shoebox Project

The Rotary Club of Campbell River has donated $1,500 to the local Shoebox Project to support women experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Rotarian Samantha Storfie presented the cheque to project coordinator Alison Skrepneck on October 29.

The holiday campaign, titled “Together, We Build Hope,” aims to collect 530 boxes for Campbell River and 100 boxes for Port Hardy and the North Island. Each shoebox is valued at approximately $50 and contains everyday essentials, warm items, and a grocery or pharmacy gift card.

Since 2013, the Campbell River chapter has supported local women through this initiative. Last year, the community delivered over $31,000 worth of gifts to 629 women.
