PAWS Penny’s Purses Update
Penny’s Purses is a volunteer group associated with the Prescott Area
Women’s Shelter (PAWS).Through the sales of Penny’s Purses, and the talented labor of a great group of women—we have been able to provide foot lockers, beautiful flower pots and a roof over the house and recreational area. We continue to provide as-needed basis with monthly supplements or to purchase equipment.
Penny’s Purses started with a small group of friends wanting to discover and fufill a greater purpose here on earth. Six women began Penny’s Purses, but innumerable women have contributed time, talent, materials and encouragement to the project. And let’s not forget the wonderful women who have purchased the purses, jewelry bags, hats, scarves and bookmarks that we now have on sale. All materials and labor are donated and every
penny earned goes to the shelter.
At the moment we are blessed to have a good supply of materials (although
we will accept more materials). We always need sewers, beaders, knitters and creative people to join our team. Every woman counts whether she is a recipient or a giver.
Think of the difference one women named Penny has made to our woman’s shelter. If you would like more information about Penny’s Purses please feel free to contact us at [email protected]
