Building Stronger Communities, One Inspection at a Time.
Through the Re-Purse Program, we collect gently used purses and bags and fill them with travel-size toiletries, feminine products, water, snacks, and other essentials to distribute to local homeless shelters. This winter, we are also adding hats and gloves to help provide extra warmth during the cold months.
We were inspired by the incredible support we received earlier this year from the Chaney Monge Student Leadership Club, who helped us collect and assemble 150 fully stocked bags in Spring 2025. These were distributed to MorningStar Mission and Daybreak Homeless Shelter in Joliet — making a real impact in the lives of many.
For Winter 2025, our goal is to collect and fill 200 bags by December, and we would love for your students to be part of this meaningful community effort.
