$34,000 Raised by YWCA Central Alabama serving St. Clair and Blount County

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and organizations have been dilgently planning to step up their efforts to bring more awareness and raise funds to help victims.

The YWCA held its first Purse and Passion fundraiser to save lifes and make an impact for victims and survivors of domestic violence. This facility will service 10 victims, women and children, providing them with the sense of security that they so desperately seek in the face of danger.

Purse and Passion started 10 years ago in Birmingham and this is the First Purse and Passion in St. Clair County to service the ever growing need. Survivors are able to share their stories which speak to the need of having additional facilities like this across state.


Alabama is truly taking the lead in raising awareness for violence of crimes that are occuring across Alabama and in the nation. YWCA Central Alabama is building partnerships and changing lives.
