This is the 6th annual Pack a Purse, Pay It Forward campaign for AWiLL (Aspiring Women in Leadership and Legacy).  The goal is to collect gently used purses, fill them with new essential items and distribute them to those in need in Edmonton. With the generous support of many donors and volunteers, AWiLL has packed and distributed over 2000 purses since this initiative started.

While COVID 19 presented challenges over the past couple of years, with safe protocols in place, we are committed to packing and delivering 1000 purses this year. To meet this goal, we are looking to collect $20,000, with 100% of donations going directly to those in need.

Donations can be made here by clicking the “To Donate” button, by e-transfer (info.awill@gmail.com) or through Go Fund Me.

This year’s campaign runs November 8 – December 3, 2022.  The purses will be presented to recipient organizations on December 3, 2022 at our location at Kingsway Mall (second level).

Drop off locations are Kingsway (look for the big red purse), Eye Nine Optometry (19918 Lessard Road NW) and Heaven Essence (15 Circle Drive #123, St. Albert)

AWiLL exists to empower the inherent leadership within all who identify as women while growing a network that will have lasting positive impacts on our families and communities.  They create opportunities for people to gather, share, and learn together through monthly leadership events and lessons, as well as through collaboration with other organizations.
