Hallsville ISD is inviting students, families, staff, and community members to help make the holiday season brighter for mothers in need through its “Purses With a Purpose” donation drive.

The district is collecting new and gently used purses filled with thoughtful gifts and personal items to share with mothers who could use a little extra encouragement and kindness this holiday season.

Community members are encouraged to donate a purse and fill it with items that a mother might not always purchase for herself. The goal is to provide a meaningful gift that reminds each recipient she is valued, appreciated, and supported.

How to Participate

Those wishing to contribute can donate a new or gently used purse and fill it with thoughtful items to help make the holidays special for a mother in need.

Donation Deadline: Wednesday, December 2, 2026

Drop-Off Locations:

• Any Hallsville ISD campus

• Hallsville ISD Administration Building

Each campus will have a designated collection area for donations.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

“Purses With a Purpose” is another opportunity for Bobcat Nation to come together and demonstrate the generosity and compassion that make the Hallsville community special.

Every donated purse is an opportunity to bring joy, encouragement, and a little extra care to someone during the holiday season.

For additional information, please contact ddavidson@hisd.com.

Hallsville ISD appreciates the continued support of our families and community members as we work together to make the holidays brighter for others.

Thank you for helping us give with purpose this holiday season!
