The Purpose
What is the "Purpose" behind Purses for a Purpose - Los Angeles?
Purses for a Purpose is a nonprofit charitable organization founded in San Diego by Shayna Rutman and directed by Iqra Irfan in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles charter believes that female empowerment is a necessity in our communities. Here, at Purses for a Purpose - Los Angeles, we feel that ALL women deserve to feel pampered and spoiled. To give back to our Los Angeles community, PFPLA uses donated purses and fills them with donated female toiletries. These purses are then redistributed to underprivileged and homeless women in the area. Purses for a Purpose, Los Angeles is dependent on YOU to keep running.
