Some Chrismas spirit has been delivered this season through shoeboxes.

The Campbell River Shoebox Project Holiday Drive has been deemed a success this year according to a press release on Dec. 14, after roughly 530 shoeboxes have been delivered to vulnerable women in Campbell River and the North Island.

“I’m very pleased with the response in Campbell River, especially, we have not seen such an outpouring of support in Campbell River since before the pandemic,” said local coordinator Alison Skrepneck.
