The Pink Slipper Project

The first challenges of the Pink Slipper Project have been met but the need is still very real.

We've been really blessed by all of the people that have contributed to the Pink Slipper Project in 2009. For such a new organization, we had a phenomenal response. From blogging about the Pink Slipper Project, to adding our widget, (see right side of site) to joining our facebook fan page, donating supplies and last but not least, making slippers. Everything that you've done has made a huge difference in the lives of some women and children living shelters.

Unfortunately our job is far from over. There are so many women and children that are victims of domestic abuse that we couldn't even begin to reach them all, even if we were all making slippers all day every day. But we can still reach out to as many as we can possibly help. Even if you think, Oh I can't sew... that's ok! Spreading the word is just as important and donating supplies, essential to our success.

I'll be updating our list of needs soon. Since we are not an official non-profit, we are unable to accept cash donations. But we are in need of supplies, including shipping supplies. If you can help, we'd be forever grateful. Instead of sending cash or a check, please send thread, warm fabrics (like fleece, flannel, wool, felt) cotton batting, shipping boxes, tissue paper, tape, scissors etc. 

Thank you for your interest in warming the hearts and toes of women and children living in shelters this winter.

If you know of a shelter that could benefit from our program, please have them write us at:

All proceeds will go to supplies and administrative costs to keep as many hearts and toes warm that we can this winter.

Thank you Gail Friend for your continued support!

Thank you Gail of Gail Friend Designs for helping us continue to warm hearts and toes this winter. It's been a very cold winter across the US this year and every contribution makes a huge difference.

Warmest Thanks,

The First Slipper Contribution in 2010! Thank you Maragaret and Elizabeth Zoller.

I received a big - beautiful box of slippers for the Pink Slipper Project 2010. I'd like to share pictures of some of the 4 dozen slippers and the note that accompanied them.

And the note read...

Dear Joyce,

I have has a lot of fun knitting these assorted children's sized slippers for your Pink Slipper project. I have been able to use up all the left over yarn from my many projects over the years. My daughter in-law, Elizabeth Zoller of Three Cats Crafts has inspired me to knit for this worthy cause. She is always trying to save the world in her quiet unassuming way. Her Christmas list this year is all about others and consists of donations to charitable causes near and dear to her, including your Pink Slipper Project. She asked for so little for herself so as my gift to her I am sending this box of 4 dozen slippers in her name to help "warm hearts and toes" and help fulfill your new challenge. I hope that you will publish this little note when the slippers are posted on your website. I so enjoy checking out the beautiful slippers that have been sent to you.

My sincere wishes to you for a happy holiday season, and to all the women and children who will benefit from your good work. God Bless.

Margaret Zoller.

What a heart warming note to accompany the 4 dozen beautiful slippers. Our project has been blessed to have such generous and caring women such as Margaret and Elizabeth Zoller. Thank you both for playing such a big part in warming hearts and toes this winter.

Many Thanks,
Joyce Lucas
