Thompson CMHA is proving a handbag can be more than just a fashion accessory.
They’ve started the “Fill a Purse Challenge”, which encourages organizations in the City to fill a purse with essential items like deodorant, pads, and lotion.
Katherine Pohjolainen with CMHA, says they’ll pick those filled purses up and give them to the City’s homeless Christmas morning.
Pohjolainen says everyone deserves a gift on Christmas, which is why they started the challenge.
If you have a filled purse you’d like to contribute, call 679-4687, and the CMHA will come by to pick it up.
