Recycle My Purse?

Wanna make a difference in the life of a complete stranger? Recycle your purse and help a breast cancer patient and her family through financial difficulties. Yes, it's that easy!

Say what?  You want me to do what?

Yes.  Recycle your purse for a good cause. 

We all change purses because we get bored.  Sometimes we go back to a favorite one, but I bet you have several in your closet that you won’t use again.  Are they “gently used” or possibly new?  Looked good at the store, but then you got it home and something wasn’t quite right?

Well, use that purse to benefit a breast cancer patient and her family.  While undergoing treatment, many of these folks find financial difficulty.  Through Lehigh Valley Health Network’s “PINK RIBBON FUND”, they find a bit of help.  

We’re sponsoring “DANDY DONATION DAY” at Hosfeld Insurance, 19 E Main St., Macungie on Wednesday 9/21/11.  From 5-7pm, we’ll be celebrating YOUR generosity in donating your unwanted new and gently used purses.  As a thank you, we’re going to feed you some of Boston’s pasta!  We’re going to have an ice-cream sundae bar!  We’ve got goodie bags for the first 30 arrivals!   We’ll have several folks giving you a taste of their “comforting” specialties, time to network and chatter, time to make new friends!   And a few AMAZING prizes in our Basket Raffle!

Easy way to make a difference in a stranger’s life.  Easy way to have some fun and meet other great folks in your community.  Easy way to get that closet a little cleaner!
