COMMUNITY OUTREACH - Items Needed
We will collect any gently used handbags, totes, purses, etc. that you bring to events with you for Purse-Impressions. This organization takes new and used handbags, fills them with toilet articles and distributes them to women coming out of rehab.  You can read about this charity on the Purse-Impressions website.
