Pack the Purse

Volunteer with United Way of Greater Atlanta’s Women United at Pack the Purse and help ensure women feel seen, supported, and equipped with the essentials they deserve. By helping us reach our goal of collecting and filling 200 purses with care items, you’ll play a direct role in restoring dignity and hope for women in our community.

You don’t have to attend the packing event to make an impact!
You can help us reach our 200‑purse goal by donating new or gently used medium‑to‑large purses and totes, contributing everyday hygiene items that will go inside, or purchasing needed supplies through our Amazon Wishlist.

Items needed:
purses and totes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lip balm, rain ponchos, combs or brushes, travel‑size toiletries, socks, deodorant, hand towels, sunblock, bandages, menstrual products,
antibiotic ointment, prepaid phone cards, and more

Not accepting:
food, medicine, razors, sewing kits

Through March 2, donations can be dropped off in-person at 63 Auburn Ave. NE Atlanta, GA 30303 Monday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Our partners at Our House and the Center for Family Resources will be distributing the purses. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Schyler Habowski, Director of Women United, at womenunited@unitedwayatlanta.org.

Any contribution helps and is greatly appreciated as we work every day to ensure women, children, and families have the support they need to reach their full potential.
