Flourish Nails at 6821 Douglas Blvd in the Country Gables Shopping Center (Raley’s center) is under new management and they are awesome!

We are delighted to have a pink barrel there to accept donations of new and gently used purses, as well as essentials to fill them! 40,000+ purses have been distributed to women in need to date! And I highly encourage you to get your 💅 and toes pampered while you are there! Look at my cute peacock feather! 🪶

When we come together as a team, we can fill over a thousand purses in just a few hours. We’ve proven that time and time again! 👛👜💼👝🎒

But sometimes, one care package takes a little longer.

This was one of those times.

Yesterday, a recent purse recipient reached out to me. She said her new job is helping others, and she knew of a woman who needed support. That’s exactly how this works—we pass the kindness along, woman to woman.

A woman about my age suddenly found herself unhoused. Then her car was impounded—with everything she had left still inside.

I contacted her and asked what she needed. The answer? Pretty much everything. I asked if she needed more than a purse, since I sometimes come across bigger items like luggage. We decided her situation called for a rolling suitcase packed with real-life essentials to help her get through this rough patch.

So I packed it like it was for me.
Like I was the one starting over with only what fit inside that suitcase.

It wasn’t as quick and easy as an assembly event—but it was deeply meaningful.

Most of the time we fill purses in bulk, not knowing whose arm they’ll brighten next. And then there are moments like this, when a purse becomes very…

purse-onal. 💜

✨ A Milestone of Kindness ✨

Julie’s Purse Project (501(c)(3)) proudly surpassed 40,000 donated purses—each one filled with essential items and delivered with care to women in need throughout the greater Sacramento area.

Every purse represents more than supplies. It’s a message of empowerment, confidence, dignity, and resilience—a reminder to each recipient that they are seen, valued, and supported.

Our hope has always been twofold:
🤍 to uplift women during vulnerable moments, and
🤍 to provide an easy, meaningful way for generous donors to give back.

As we move into the new year, we wish you peace, safety, and the kindness of strangers—the same kindness that has made this milestone possible.

With gratitude and love,
Julie’s Purse Project 👜💗
