Handbags For Hope | Photo Gallery

Relive the Cookeville Lifestyle Magazine Premiere Edition Launch Party with highlights and photos celebrating local businesses, community leaders, and the official debut event.

Handbags for Hope, the main fundraiser for Genesis House, offers hope to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The handbag, our symbol, is a visible icon for both donors and recipients. It draws us together to open our handbags to support and offer hope to those in difficult circumstances in the Upper Cumberland. For those who attend the event, it is the most fun you will ever have getting a new purse!
