COST: No cost if you have already made a donation. If you have not yet donated a purse, we ask that you bring a filled purse that meets the guidelines below or make a $20 donation, which 100% goes towards the Purse Project to buy personal items for purses.
RSVP: By registering on the form below. Limited to 100 guests!
Purse Guidelines:
- Only gently used or new. No tears, no stains, no cigarette odor, no broken fasteners/zippers, no peeling leather/vinyl.
- Purse needs to be large enough to fit in all the personal items in which we try to fill each purse. (See minimum list of personal items below.)
- In an effort to be equitable, designer purses will not be given to homeless women. If designer purses are donated, we will use them for a silent auction to raise money for purse fillers.
