We are collecting the cosmetics and beauty essentials that will go in the gifts we give to women in domestic violence shelters.
2025 was a big year for OPT, as we gave nearly 1200 gifts in all! Please help us meet (and maybe even surpass) that goal in 2026!
The need is great. The ask is simple. Please help us love and empower these beautiful women and give today.
Calling all high school students!
