Fairfield Harbour Partners with the New Bern Women’s Club to Collect Purses for a Purpose

Local Boating and Golf Community Participates in Purse Drive Through May 23 to Aid Domestic Violence Victims

New Bern, NC, May 22, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Fairfield Harbour, a residential boating and golf community located 15 minutes from historic New Bern, has announced that it will partner with the New Bern Women’s Club to collect purses and personal items for area women who are victims of domestic violence. Purses can be dropped off through Friday, May 23 in the Fairfield Harbour POA office, located at 902 Coral Reef Drive.

The New Bern Women’s Club is hosting a purse drive because many victims of domestic violence are forced to leave their homes without essential personal items. Donated purses can range in size and may contain any personal items that these victims may need, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste or deodorant.
