Mark your calendars for a night of fun and philanthropy as we gear up for the Safer Futures’ 14th Annual Hope in a Handbag event! This fundraiser is essential in supporting our victim services in Portage County. Thanks to your incredible generosity in 2023, we were able to provide over 8,477 nights of safe shelter and support more than 1,331 survivors with resources such as transitional housing, legal advocacy, crisis line assistance, and resource referrals.
This year’s event is set to be even more impactful. Join us on September 19th at 4:30 PM at Hobb’s Hall, behind the Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent, 228 Gougler Ave, Kent, OH 44240. Enjoy an unforgettable evening with purse bingo, a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle, and a basket raffle! Savor delicious small plates while we come together as a community to support this vital cause.
Your participation is more than just an evening out—it’s a lifeline for survivors and their children, ensuring they have a safe place to turn in times of crisis. There are several ways you can support the event:
