Time for an OPT Party!
Operation Pretty Things is dedicated to loving and empowering women victimized by domestic violence and sexual assault. Every woman we serve receives a thoughtfully assembled gift of cosmetics and beauty essentials with a handwritten note full of love and encouragement.
Our OPT Parties are an opportunity to host an Operation Pretty Things event in the comfort of your own home or location of your choosing! These gatherings are a great way to experience Operation Pretty Things at its fullest. How does it work? It’s simple…
Each woman can be sponsored for $50. This is to ensure ensure that every women we serve gets quality, long-lasting items.
Once you have determined how many women you’d like to sponsor, ask your friends, families, churches and co-workers to help! Sponsorships can be placed HERE, or give us a call to an determine alternative option.
We will do all the shopping for you, and arrive at the date, time, and location of your choosing…pretty things in hand! *Please give us at least two weeks notice prior to your event so make sure the items arrive on time.

IMPORTANT NOTE for Cosmetic Purchases:
In light of our gift recipients' challenging personal experiences and OPT's commitment to their dignity and honor, we thank you in advance for solely donating "never-used," high quality items.
Many of the women who will be receiving Operation Pretty Things gifts have arrived at the shelters with nothing but the clothes on their backs. While they might be able to go to the Dollar Store for a basic or two, we have a unique opportunity to lavish them with better-made products that are also longer-lasting. What this means for us is that donating a fewer number of items is actually MORE valuable to OPT when it comes to showing the women how treasured they truly are.
Please let us know if you have any questions, and THANK YOU so much in advance for your generosity!
