Portage County – Safer Futures, Portage County’s only Domestic Violence Shelter, will be hosting the 8th annual Hope in a Handbag fundraiser on Saturday, October 20, 2018 from 7:oo pm to 9:30 pm at The Overlook in Twin Lakes.
The event will once again feature a silent auction including an array of new and gently used handbags, purses, and clutches. Many of the donated items include high-fashion designer bags to classic vintage bags. Included in this year’s array of purses, we have Chanel, Coach, Dooney & Bourke, Liz Claiborne, Michael Kors, Prada, Vera Bradley, Simply Vera Wang and many more.
