THE PURPLE BOX PROJECT

Since 2019, Future Seed has led The Purple Box Project, an annual community initiative held during Domestic Violence Awareness Month to support survivors of domestic violence and their children as they rebuild their lives.

Each October, our community comes together to collect essential baby items, personal care products, and other necessities for families transitioning to safe and stable environments. What began as a local donation drive has grown into a meaningful tradition of compassion, bringing together residents, businesses, churches, schools, and community partners to provide hope through practical support.
 

Many survivors leave abusive situations with very few belongings. For parents with young children, rebuilding can be especially challenging. The Purple Box Project helps meet immediate needs while reminding survivors that they are not alone—that their community stands beside them with encouragement, dignity, and care.

 

How You Can Help

There are many ways to support The Purple Box Project:

  • Donate items during our annual October collection drive.

  • Host a collection drive at your church, business, school, civic
    organization, or workplace.

  • Make a financial contribution to help purchase high-priority
    items and support local survivors and their families.

Every contribution directly supports survivors in our community
as they work to create safe, healthy, and hopeful futures for
themselves and their children.
 

Annual Collection Drive

Collection Period: October 1–31 annually
 

We Accept:

  • Baby essentials for newborns through age 3

  • Personal hygiene products

  • Socks and underwear for children and adults

  • Duffle bags

All donated items must be new.

Go Purple for Purple Thursday

Each year, on the third Thursday of October, communities
across Louisiana observe Purple Thursday by wearing
purple to raise awareness about domestic violence and
show support for survivors.
 

We invite everyone to participate by wearing purple
decorating your home or workplace, and sharing why
ending domestic violence matters. Be sure to tag
@FutureSeedLA and use #PurpleBoxProject
#LAGoesPurple, #EndDomesticViolence
#SilentNoMore, and #LoveShouldntHurt when posting
on social media.


Together, We Can Bring Hope

For more than five years, The Purple Box Project has
demonstrated what is possible when a community
comes together with compassion and purpose.
Every donation helps restore hope, dignity, and
stability for survivors and their children.
 

Together, we can fill every Purple Box with more than supplies—we can fill it with hope, encouragement, and the promise of a brighter future.
