Hope in a Handbag Committee

It’s ON! The Give STL Day Challenge has officially begun… and it’s time to unzip those wallets and dig deep into those designer bags for a cause that truly matters.

Every year, 4,500 local kids are impacted by the foster care system. The Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition is determined to reach 100% of them by 2029—and the Hope in a Handbag Committee needs to step up in style.

But we can’t do it without YOU.

 Let’s prove our handbags hold more than lip stick and loose change—they hold the power to change lives. If you’re able, please consider donating with a “29” in it—like $29, $129, or hey, even $2,929 if you're feeling bold—to help us hit that goal to raise more than the Coalition Board AND Junior Board and make a difference while we’re at it. 

Be part of the movement that’s turning fashion into a force for good Let’s make sure our handbags don’t just make a statement… they make a difference.
