Donating

Make A Change - DonatingSince becoming the Board of Directors Chair, I have had many people ask me how they can help Reach Out Speak Out. Besides volunteering your time, we can use your talents and of course your treasure! Our families are always in need of gift cards for groceries and gas as well as needing toiletries, gluten-free foods, and even laundry and cleaning supplies.

As Reach Out Speak Out continues to grow, so do our needs for donations and volunteers. We are available to speak to your civic or community organizations about Reach Out Speak Out. Do you attend a church that needs to hear about us? Let us know and we would be happy to speak with your church leadership about how we could help each other!

We are currently in the process of planning our largest fundraiser, The Purple Passion. It is held annually in October during Domestic Violence Awareness month. We have one of the most extensive silent auctions in the city with gift baskets in every price range. All proceeds go to the charity. All items are donated by various citizens, businesses, and foundations as well as local sports teams and restaurants.

If you or your organization would like to donate for this worthy cause, please contact me at [email protected] or call 813-985-1970.

Thankful. Grateful. Blessed.

During this month of Thanksgiving, I want to start off with a huge thank you to all those who helped make our 3rd annual Purple Passion event a great success! This year was our biggest and best year yet, and word is getting out. Thank you to all who donated food, items, time, and especially New Identities for allowing us to use your beautiful salon to set up. Of course, we can’t forget those who came out to support us!

For those of you wondering what Purple Passion is, it is our largest annual fundraiser where you can come to have great food, fun, fellowship and of course shop our wide variety of silent auction items. We have something for everyone and items in all price ranges. I’ve heard several people comment that we have the best variety and deals (but maybe I’m just biased…). From fall to Christmas, kids to adults, activities to gift cards, sports to spa to everyday items, we are a great one stop shop for all your holiday needs. See pics below for a sampling of this year’s items.

If you weren’t able to make it out this year, start thinking about next year. We always hold this event during October for domestic violence awareness month. Next year will be even bigger and better. We look forward to seeing you then!

Thankful Grateful Blessed Purple Passion 2018
