As we reflect on this past year we are filled with immense gratitude for the many businesses and
residents of Halton and the surrounding areas who so generously supported
Purses with a Purpose.
Due to your kindness and community spirit, we were able to collect and distribute 1557
thoughtfully filled purses to 19 charities. Each purse represented far more than essential items.
It was a message of care, dignity, and hope. Your generosity helped make Christmas a warmer,
more memorable time for women who needed to know they are seen, valued, and supported.
This incredible achievement would not have been possible without you. From local businesses
who hosted collection bins or donated, to individuals who donated, volunteered and spread the
word—your compassion truly made a difference.
As we look ahead, we are excited to kick off our 2026 campaign on September 1st. We hope we
can once again count on your continued support as we work together to make an even greater
impact in the year ahead.
Thank you for standing with us and for helping to make such a meaningful difference.
With gratitude,
The Purses with a Purpose Team
