Dallas College has partnered with the Texas Advocacy Project in its “Handbags for Hope” campaign this spring.
From March 18 through April 19, the college is accepting donations of
purses, gender-neutral totes and diaper bags for survivors of intimate partner violence.
How to Donate
Students, faculty, staff and community members can drop off donations at
Dallas College food pantries on any of the seven campuses or the Pleasant Grove Center. Donation boxes are in the hallways.
-
New items will be donated to
Texas Advocacy Project (TAP), one of our Dallas College community partners. The nonprofit organization provides free legal and social services to survivors of all forms of power-based abuse, including intimate partner violence and sexual assault. Like our
College Alliance Against Sexual Assault (CAASA), TAP’s mission is to end dating and domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking in Texas.
-
Used items will be donated to the
Dallas College clothing closets to support students and community members in need.
