Join us for a powerful and inspiring evening with Julie McCollum, founder of the Touch of Hope Purse Project, as she shares how a simple idea has grown into a meaningful lifeline for survivors of domestic violence across Missouri.Julie will walk us through the story of how Touch of Hope began, the real-life impact it continues to make, and the current state of domestic violence in Missouri. Attendees will learn how Touch of Hope provides more than just a purse — it delivers dignity, essential items, and a message of care to women and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
This special Dynamic Women Speaker Series event is free to attend. In place of a ticket, guests are asked to bring a gently used purse to donate to the Touch of Hope cause. Each purse helps a survivor take one small but meaningful step forward with support and hope.
