&lt;p data-start="0" data-end="356"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We have an opportunity to make a difference for the women served by Beauty for Ashes through their purse ministry, which supports women experiencing trafficking and street-level vulnerability throughout our community. We are inviting all Flint Women’s Forum members and their friends and family, to help by donating gently used purses along with travel-size hygiene items to fill them with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="358" data-end="625"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Our goal is to begin collecting donations during our May and June lunch meetings, both before and after the events, with &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Florist&lt;/strong&gt; generously serving as an additional drop-off location. We plan to conclude the drive with a final collection and delivery in July.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
