Commonwealth Edison an Exelon Company Provides Donation.
May 2021 – Commonwealth Edison an Exelon Company, started a clothes campaign for the benefit of Suits for Success. At each one of their service locations from which they dispatch repair and service teams a clothing collection is being performed. Initial clothing pick-ups point to a week’s donation being in excess of 1000. What makes Commonwealth Edison unique is that the utility will donate $100 for each employee who donates 10 hours of volunteer work for a non-profit. As a result, the clothing donations will go to clothe parolees out of the prisons in Illinois and Wisconsin and the money will pay for the clothes to be cleaned and delivered to those prisons.
Thank you Commonwealth Edison for helping us supply clothes and deliver clothes to enable parolees to find jobs and begin their lives anew.
Kane County Sheriff's office has been proactive in receiving Suits for Success for their opportunities program. Sheriff Hane and Commander Osmani are meeting with the team from Suits for Success Tim Ford, Bill Ackerman and Bill Denwood to receive around 450 clothes for the program.
Sheriff Hane also surprised SFS with a $1000. check for the ongoing service that SFS provides.
Amazing. Thankful for all you do.
This is the largest parolee shopping area that Suits for Success has in any of the 41 correctional facilities that we serve. It is located in Lincoln, IL at Logan Women's Correctional. Tricia Goldsberry with the help of fellow workers created this to be as close as possible to a women's clothing store. It is huge! and inviting for shoppers!
A big thank you to Bolingbrook Rotary. Suits for Success gave a presentation to them on April 13 and they want to work with us on collecting clothes for the area prisons and jails.
Thank you
What a month for Suits for Success! We delivered loads of suits, dress slacks and dress shirts to 3 prisons in Wisconsin. Sturtevant, Racine Correctional and Milwaukee Correctional. Thanks
Earlier this month Suits for Success went again to Wisconsin. This time to the Racine Juvenile Detention Center and then to the Robert Ellsworth Facility in Union City. We took a total of some 1200 + clothes.
