Shelter House is seeking donations from the local community for new and gently used handbags to be auctioned at the 9th Annual Purses with a Purpose event at Grand Boulevard on March 28, 2019.
In previous years, the event has featured hundreds of handbags and accessories from major designers including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Michael Kors and more. The event has raised a total of over $100,000 throughout the years, with funds going directly to programs, counseling and support of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Okaloosa and Walton counties.
Donations may be dropped off at Shelter House’s offices in Fort Walton Beach, Crestview and DeFuniak Springs anytime Monday-Friday during regular business hours. (8:00 am-5:00 pm)
Members of the community may also drop off handbags at local businesses throughout Okaloosa and Walton counties.
