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! YWCA Yakima’s Power of the Purse returns in 2026—an unforgettable evening of handbags, signature cocktails, delicious bites, and heart-filled impact.

Get excited for:

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

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

It’s more than retail therapy—it’s real change. Why it matters:
Financial abuse—like restricting credit cards, blocking access to bank accounts, or sabotaging employment—is a hidden but powerful form of control. Your support helps survivors build confidence, take control of their finances, and create safe, independent lives.
