Lynda’s Helping Handbags was started in 2016 in Green, Ohio through the kindness of two sisters, Lynda Dodson and Cindy Rutherford. The idea came to Lynda while struggling with serious health issues. Instead of focusing on herself, Lynda wanted to reach out and help other women. She decided on a basic, personal necessity that all women use, which we often take for granted, a handbag. Lynda wanted to fill handbags with common items and give them to women in need. Lynda shared her idea with her sister. Cindy saw how important this was to Lynda and knew she couldn’t do it on her own, so she put her sister’s dream into action. They set a goal of 100 handbags and came up with a list of 10-20 items every woman uses. Through social media and word of mouth, along with the generosity of many, Cindy started receiving new or gently used handbags, and new items to fill them with. Cindy contacted Good Neighbors of Green, a non-profit serving families and individuals in a time of crisis for over 40 years, and they were thrilled to receive the donations. The project was not only beneficial to the grateful women of Good Neighbors, but was inspiring to everyone involved. Lynda and Cindy were raised with a spirit of giving, showing kindness to all, and helping one’s community whenever possible. Through Lynda’s Helping Handbags, these qualities have touched the lives of many. Lynda’s Helping Handbags is now an annual tradition in the Green, Ohio area, as well as other parts of the country.
