What We Do...

Purpose Purse Project

Can you imagine finding yourself in need of personal care items and not having the resources to quickly run into a store to pick them up? Often times, women who have recently left their abusers and are in the beginning stages of survivorship find themselves in this exact situation. Sometimes, leaving safely means there's no time to consider grabbing personal items.

The Purpose Purse Project collects community donations of purses and contents of personal care items, toiletries, health and beauty products and non-perishable snacks.  Donated purses are then stuffed and distributed to shelters and safehouses.
We are currently collecting feminine hygiene products (pads, liners and tampons), deodorant, bath soap, lotion, razors, hand sanitizer, Qtips, cotton balls, toothpaste, toothbrushes dental floss, mouthwash, lip balm, socks, slippers, scarves, gloves, nail clippers and nail files, shampoo, conditioner, combs, brushes, hair ties, cosmetics, tissue packets, grocery and fast food gift cards, and non perishable snacks. To make a donation, contact us to arrange a drop-off/pick-up appointment or click the donate tab to make a financial donation.

Cells for Survivors

Our 3 Memorial Foundation, Inc.'s phone drive is still going strong! We're still collecting cell phones and tablets (any brand, any condition). 100% of proceeds will be used to fund initiatives being implemented by the organization to provide supportive services for domestic abuse survivors.  

THE BEST PART?!?: THERE'S NOTHING TO BUY!

We are simply asking you to protect the environment by donating your used consumer electronics. Your used items are tax deductible and will be recycled in accordance with EPA regulations. 100% of the proceeds will help fund services for survivors in need of assistance.

We are currently collecting cell phones and iPads/tablets in any brand and/or condition to be recycled. If you'd like to help, contact us to arrange a drop-off/pick-up appointment. You may also mail your devices to us. 

Educate to Empower: Financial Literacy Program

One in four women experience domestic violence in the United States. Nearly all of those cases include financial abuse. Financial abuse is the number 1 reason victims struggle with leaving their abusive partner or end up returning to one. 
Our 3 Memorial Foundation, Inc. is committed to fostering independence for survivors of financial abuse through the use of financial empowerment. This program provides survivors with the education and resources they need to once again reach their full potential. 
During this 5 month program, participants meet with their Financial Empowerment Coach to learn about setting financial goals, resume building, job readiness, credit repair, securing employment and furthering education. 
Alongside their coach, survivors will establish a budget that will help them gain and maintain financial independence to break free from their abusers permanently. 
This program acknowledges that leaving an abusive relationship is a process and that financial dependency is the strongest predictor of a survivor's decision to stay, leave, or return to an abusive relationship.

STAND Up Guys Campaign

Our Stand Up Guys campaign, encourages the men in our community to take a STAND against domestic violence. We take the time to engage males of any age group and educate them on domestic abuse and encourage them to take the STAND Up Guy pledge. In doing so, we are able to create relationships with the males in are community who, in turn, understand the importance of effectively speaking out about domestic violence and intervening instead of remaining silent. Each community engagement activity puts us one step closer to closing the gap of the disproportionate numbers of abuse. To take the pledge and be notified of the next STAND Up Guy community engagement activity, click here.
