In Style Accessories collecting used handbags for shelter

In Style Accessories, 96 First St. in Hudson, has kicked off its January "Hope for Healing" Handbag Charity Event. Through Jan. 15, In Style Accessories will offer $30 off of a new handbag in return for a donation of a gently used handbag to be given to the Battered Women's Shelter of Summit and Medina counties.

For more information, call 330-653-5499 or visit www.in-style-accessories.com.

Through sales of new handbags during the month of December, In Style Accessories was able to donate $450 to the Harvest Home for Women and Children in Akron, which is a part of Haven of Rest Ministries. In Style Accessories selected the charity as it searched for an organization that served to assist, protect and empower females in the area. The store describes it as "a wonderful sanctuary of hope, new beginnings and peace for many women and children residing in the Akron community."
