Our Mission
Purses For A Purpose, Inc. is lending a helping hand(bag) by collecting donated purses, handbags, and backpacks filled with travel-sized toiletries to deliver to unhoused female populations in select cities nationwide.
We partner with other nonprofit organizations to deliver our purses to homeless women nationwide.
About Us
An ad on Facebook inspired our CEO, Shayna Rutman, and her father to give back to less fortunate women.
​
Since 2019, we have been collecting good condition, mid-sized, arm-deep purses, and handbags that can fit donated travel-sized toiletries to distribute to unhoused female populations.
​
We strongly appreciate your support!
Our Vision
Our team strives to raise awareness about the ever-growing homeless crisis and intersectional gender-based violence.
​
Donors can repurpose their unused bags while reflecting on the importance of daily luxuries and accessibility to essential items.
