This event raises money for our annual initiative that provides filled purses to women in our area that are facing hardship.
About this Event

SHE Leads members, guests, supporting companies and individuals will gather in The Annex of Riverbluff Church to learn more about the organizations our project will support this year. We will raise money through a silent auction to purchase personal items to fill donated purses. There will be coffee, food, and door prizes!

There is no cost to attend, with a donation. 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.

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.

Purse Fillers (full or trial size):

  • Shampoo/Shampoo Bar
