A message from the Shoebox team about current events. ❤️

Hi everyone,

Over the last few days, we have been watching the situation in Minnesota and the Twin Cities unfold with sadness.

The Shoebox team would like to extend our well wishes for the safety of everyone living locally and commend the massive, inspirational response of Minnesotans.

We will go ahead with Shoebox 2026. We believe that there is great benefit to creating a space for joy and belonging in difficult times.

We hear and echo local organizers' pleas encouraging people to visit, support businesses and attend events in the community.

To bring what support we can to the area, we will be donating 10% of the profit from this event to appropriate Twin Cities charities and funds.

It's understandable to feel worried about attending. We will have dedicated security and metal detectors and are working with the venue on further appropriate safety measures.

You can also get a refund, no-questions-asked, until February 28th. We hope and expect the situation will be significantly better by then.

We'll be putting out more information including our full schedule in the coming days.

Love and solidarity,
The Shoebox Team
