In February 2025, Women UNITED harnessed their collective power with local businesses to collect Purses with a Purpose for single moms experiencing housing insecurity in Denton County.

Over the next month, UWDC’s Women UNITED will be collecting for Purses With A Purpose.  

Each year, Women UNITED collects purses/bags with various items to give to single mothers with young children. We distribute these right before Spring Break each year. We partner with one or two local agencies to do so. Last year we partnered with Denton County Friends of the Family and our sponsored preschool, Dreamspark Academy. 

You can hold a collection drive at your organization several different ways:

  • you could have everyone bring a bag filled with various items they have assembled themselves
  • As a group you could choose a specific type item or 2 to collect and donate (ex. Diapers or snacks)
  • You could let your employees purchase items from the shopping list to put in bags with your company/logo
  • Make a monetary donation and let us shop for you!

Our efforts will culminate with a Brown Bag Lunch & Learn on Thursday, February 26th at the United Way office, where companies and individuals can come drop off items collected. 

You can deliver the bags/items to UW or we can arrange a time for pick up that works for you. Email leah@unitedwaydenton.org for more information!
