Multiple Michigan State Police posts are participating in Purses with a Purpose this coming month.

The MSP is gathering new or gently used purses and bags filled with comfort items to benefit survivors of sexual assault.

These items can include nail clippers, ear plugs, hair brush, socks, lip balm, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, tweezers, sleep eye masks, hair care products, foot care products, makeup and individual sized q-tips and cotton balls.

Donations are being accepted through April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

To find out of a post near year is participating or where you can donate, call your local post.
