Each year we collect donations of new and gently used purses containing essential self-care items for local non-profits. Our goal this year is to bless 450 women in need. Please join us! You’ll be showing someone over the holidays that they’re cared for.
Here’s How it Works: Fill a new or gently used medium/large handbag (approx.12 x 12x 5 or larger) with all items from the “Must” checklist and several optional items of your choice.
