Tired of meetup events that feel empty? Join **Toronto Girls Giving Back** 💖 for our inaugural meetup. I am hoping to build a supportive community of successful women **from various backgrounds** dedicated to connection, growth, and hands-on service.👯‍♀️ We're partnering with The Shoebox Project to inspect and pack gift-filled shoeboxes for women impacted by homelessness in our city. These boxes are reminders to women that they are worthy, beautiful, seen, and heard. 🎁 Come meet your new support network, share your passion for giving back, and help us ensure every shoebox brings joy and dignity this December! 💃👸 🎯 What to Expect Alana (our contact) from Shoebox has over 200 boxes that need to be inspected, so the team will be helping her with that. Prior to beginning, she will explain what items they typically remove from the boxes and what are safe to stay in them! We will also go for coffee after the shift downstairs at Hale Coffee!

**#Note: As of Aug 17, 2025,** **we will be moving to Yonge Sheppard Centre** due to the closing of our prior venue Whole Foods.

All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
