United Way of Pioneer Valley works with their affiliate group, the Dora D. Robinson Women’s Leadership Council, each year to collect gently used and new purses and fill them with toiletries, necessities, inspirations, and little surprises. These purses are then distributed to women in re-entry programs, shelters, and other social service programs throughout our geographic footprint. For more information, or to offer donations, financial support, or to volunteer for Power of the Purse, please contact Jennifer Kinsman at jkinsman@uwpv.org or 413-693-0212.
