Bags2Riches
The event to choose the most original handbag!

Bags2 Riches is a unique Handbag Competition dedicated to the homeless and the near homeless in the Indianapolis community. This event will benefit Trusted Partners, the one of a kind program that provides volunteer mentors for individuals and families in homeless prevention programs.

My whole life was in [a] handbag. My handbag was dirty and lipstick was on everything. I had different pieces of paper that had no real meaning. That handbag was of death, loss, and no real meaning except chaos and confusion. I have a new handbag now. First it was lonely and scary, then I started to fill this handbag up with numbers of people that carried the same kind of bag I did, and they tell me how they got rid of that other handbag. These people have showed me how a handbag was supposed to look on the inside, clean and neat. My handbag is organized and can get better as long as I practice improving my self for the better.  Charonne, trusted partner
