Iva's Place

✨💜 What an incredible day of purpose, community, and hope 💜✨

Our hearts are so full as we reflect on yesterday’s Purses with a Purpose event. Because of YOU—your generosity, your presence, and your support—we were able to turn something as simple as a handbag into something truly life-changing.

Every purse purchased, every donation given, and every moment shared helps provide safety, healing, and a path forward for survivors of domestic violence served by Iva’s Place Safe Haven Shelter. You are part of a story that gives individuals and families the chance to rebuild their lives—one where their trauma does not, and will not ever, define them.

Yesterday was more than just a shopping event—it was a beautiful gathering filled with something for everyone… incredible handbags, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and the kind of fellowship that reminds us how powerful a caring community can be. 💫

We are so grateful to:
💜 Southern Bell Events for graciously hosting us in such a wonderful space
💜 Every individual and business who donated beautiful purses, delicious food, and refreshments
💜 Each and every person who came out to shop, support, and stand with survivors
💜 Our incredible staff and team of volunteers who worked behind the scenes—sorting, organizing, setting up, and pouring their hearts into every detail to make this event possible
💜 And a special thank you to our amazing swag sponsors, whose generosity added such a thoughtful touch—providing fun, meaningful, and useful items that made each purchase feel even more special

You showed up in a big way—and because of that, lives will be changed.

As we share photos from this special day, we hope you feel the impact you helped create. And the good news? The opportunity to make a difference doesn’t end here.

👜 If you’re interested in any of the purses we still have available, we would love to connect with you!
💜 If you would like to make a donation or begin supporting our next Purses with a Purpose event, please reach out anytime:

865-986-1585

We will continue accepting donations throughout the year as we look ahead to our next event—and we would love for you to be part of it.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for being part of something so meaningful. Thank you for helping bring hope, healing, and a brighter future to those who need it most. 💜✨
