Mother's Day Purse Project
We had a wonderful time stuffing Mother’s Day Purses for the
Women’s Hope Center. We had 7 PV Juniors get together on
Saturday May 1st. The number of items to put in the purses was
over whelming and the stuffing happens like a well-oiled
assembly line. We all enjoyed the time together after not seeing
each other for so long due to the pandemic. 54 purses were filled
and then delivered to the Hope Center on Monday May 3rd. The
amount of donations equaled $1094.00, and the volunteer hours
were 88 hours. What a great job ladies!
