As a service project for our Fall LWML Zone Rally, we collected and filled 57 Purses of Hope for the Genesis Project in Apache Junction (a 501c3 organization which feeds the homeless and offers other services like shower vouchers). Our gently used purses were filled with new items: socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, nail polish and remover pads, nail clippers, lotion, sunscreen, lip balm, pens, pencils, colored pencils, adult coloring books, a Gospel of John, and more. We also included a handwritten note of encouragement for each homeless recipient. Additional purses and donated items we couldn't use or that were excess went to other charitable groups for distribution.
