The Keremeos Royal Purple embarked on a new project designed to assist women in need in our community. We have partnered with the Lower Similkameen Community Services and Valley First Credit Union to collect and distribute the donated items. We are looking for new or gently used large purses in which to place the donated personal care items. The handbags will be filled with such things as smaller sized toiletries, soap, Kleenex, tooth paste, tooth brushes, dental floss, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, combs, brushes, lotion, lip balm, tampons, wash clothes, hand towels, socks, and mittens.

Monetary donations would be greatly appreciated to help with the purchase of any needed items. Checks may be made out to the Keremeos Royal Purple. Thank you for your generosity.
