ABOUT

Power of the Purse: Fighting financial abuse—one fabulous purse at a time 

Grab your girlfriends and get ready for a fabulous night of shopping, fun, and giving back! Join YWCA Yakima for Power of the Purse—an unforgettable evening of handbags, signature cocktails, delicious bites, and heart-filled impact. 

✨ Shop your heart out with: 

  • A stunning silent and live auction of new and designer handbags 

  • Exclusive grab-and-go purses and accessories for every style and budget 

  • Friday October 3rd | 5-8PM | Valley Mall 2nd Floor.

It’s more than retail therapy—it’s real change. Proceeds from Power of the Purse support YWCA’s vital work in the Yakima Valley, providing financial education, literacy, and empowerment for women and families escaping domestic violence. 

Why it matters: Financial abuse—like taking away credit cards, blocking access to bank accounts, or sabotaging jobs—is a hidden but powerful form of control. Your support helps survivors build confidence, take control of their finances, and create safe, independent lives.
