Hope in a Handbag: Bringing Comfort and Care to Those in Need

Retail Alliance is excited to announce the launch of Hope in a Handbag, a heartfelt community initiative designed to spread hope and kindness to those in need. Through this project, we will collect gently used handbags and manbags, fill them with essential items, and deliver them to women and men supported by Survivor Ventures.

We’re inviting you to join us in making a difference! Whether you donate handbags, manbags or items to go inside them, your generosity can provide comfort to someone in need. 

Here’s what we are accepting:

  • Handbags (purses, totes, manbags, fannypacks)
  • Gift cards
  • Power bars/snack items
  • Beauty products (lip balm, hand lotion, etc.)
  • Socks
  • Toothbrushes and toothpaste
  • Small journals or notebooks
  • Pens
  • Sewing Kits 
  • Gloves 
  • Hats
  • Kids Items 

Your support can turn small, everyday items into a source of hope and dignity for those facing challenges.

Have questions or ready to donate? Reach out to Jess or Megan to coordinate your contribution.
