FILL THE PURSE — SEPTEMBER COLLECTION DRIVE!

Ladies, we know you have one… that purse sitting in your closet that you thought you would use again—but haven’t!

This September, Central Furniture Rescue is asking you to bring us that purse and help us fill it!

1 in 5 women struggle to afford both groceries and feminine hygiene products. No woman should have to choose between feeding herself or her family and purchasing the basic personal-care products she needs.

Throughout the month of September, CFR will be collecting:

New or gently used purses
Feminine hygiene products — pads, tampons & liners
Shampoo & conditioner
Body wash & soap
Toothbrushes & toothpaste
Deodorant
Other new personal hygiene and self-care products

Beginning in October, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, every woman and girl age 10 and up that CFR serves will receive a filled purse with feminine hygiene and personal-care essentials.

EVERY YEAR, OUR GOAL IS TO FILL 300 PURSES!

These purses become more than just a bag. They provide essential products, a little something special, and a reminder that our community cares.

Clean out that closet. Grab that purse you aren't using. Pick up a few hygiene products. Invite your friends, coworkers, church, book club, or women's group to join you!

A purse sitting in your closet could become a beautiful gift of dignity and care for a woman or young girl we serve.
