At Handbags of Hope we believe a woman's handbag is a very important personal possession. We carry a small world in there.
But what happens when you run for safety in
the middle of the night ?

Often you take only the clothes on your back
and a child in your arms. Many of the women
who receive our handbags are victims of Domestic Violence.

Our concept is simple; we take donated purses and add 10 items of necessity. We then deliver the filled purses to domestic abuse shelters so they can be given to women who need them. Experience and testimonials have shown us over and over, how much such a small gift such as a new purse is appreciated by the women who receive them.
