Safer Futures fundraiser helps keep the shelter running despite state cuts

- Jala Forest

Safer Futures held its 12th annual Hope in a Handbag fundraising event on Friday at the Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center, where guests bid on designer purses to support Portage County’s only domestic violence shelter.

The fundraiser featured new and slightly used bags for sale in a silent auction format. Supporters could also enter into a 50/50 raffle for gift baskets that were filled with prizes and treats.
