TCSO is partnering with the Texas Advocacy Project (TAP) for the 2022 Handbags for Hope campaign.
We are collecting BRAND NEW handbags, diaper bags, and gender neutral tote bags for survivors across Texas. Each Handbag for Hope is fitted with a discreet tag that lists TAP’s toll-free legal line 800-374-HOPE, safety planning information, and Allstate Foundation’s Financial Empowerment Planning Guide.
COLLECTION DATES: MARCH 9 – APRIL 8
Our collection barrels will be located at the front lobby of the Travis County Sheriff's Office | 5555 Airport Blvd., Austin, TX 78751.
Hours of operartion: Monday - Friday from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm; closed for county holidays.
If you don’t have a handbag, you can also make an online donation to support the campaign.
TAP’s mission is to end dating and domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking in Texas. TAP empowers survivors through free legal services and access to the justice system, and advances prevention through public outreach and education.
