Clarksville Association of REALTORSClarksville, TN – The Clarksville Association of Realtors (CAR) will host the third annual Handbags For Hope at Old Glory Distilling Company on Saturday, August 20th.

Urban Ministry’s SafeHouse for Women is fully staffed 24 hours a day to provide safety, peace, and comfort to local women and children in need. In two years, CAR’s Handbags for Hope has raised over $70,000.

“With the money raised, the SafeHouse is working to refurbish their facility to keep it a safe environment for the Clarksville Community members who require their assistance,” said Melissa Powers, Realtor and volunteer for SafeHouse.

“Many times women leave quickly with their children while their partner is away. They take nothing more than the clothes on their backs in a desperate attempt to get away before being seen. SafeHouse is a wonderful haven that provides food, shelter, clothing, and help to those seeking refuge,” said Powers.

“As Realtors in our community, we feel a strong obligation to support Clarksville and Montgomery County in every way we can,” said Jennifer Warrick, 2016 CAR YPN Chair. “CAR and its committees are thankful for the support we receive, and that allows us to touch the lives of families in this great community,” said Warrick.

The event is open to the public, and tickets are still available. Advanced tickets are $50.00, or $70.00 the day of the event. To purchase tickets call the CAR office at 931.552.3567.
