Yesterday we delivered 390 clothes pants, sport coats, and dress shirts to the Luke Weber, program director at Oak Hill Correctional Institute. It is a great feeling just to be part of a parolee getting employment which is a key to leading a productive life.

Waiting for three new accounts to open their new closets to house dress and casual clothes for Suits for Success. We already have 6 in Wisconsin and are hoping for more. The account in Illinois is building a closet for us. Our clothes closet holds enough to handle these and more. Thanks to all our donors.
William Ross Denwood is collecting money for his birthday this year for Suits For Success,suitsforsuccess.net. He has already collected enough for cleaning 200 clothes. We do this to enable parolees to do well in interviewing and begin their lives again in the community! Thanks
Almost Happy Birthday,Bill !!

The Bolingbrook Campus Clothing Closet
www.thecompass.net
Our Bolingbrook Campus Clothing Closet seeks to support our community by providing clothing, ranging from nice casual to professional, for men and women who are in need of new and gently used clothes....
We hope to be heading further north into Wisconsin as the prisons there consider adding our service to how they can better meet the needs of the parolees being released.
We provide an array of clothes that are new or barely used.
We are pleased to offer Wisconsin what we have.
SFS made the move to help the recent tornado victims of Woodridge and Naperville IL. Four members/volunteers attended the American Red Cross relief event at Jefferson School in Woodridge. We urged all the people there if they needed clothes to go to the Closet that we supply at Compass Church in Bolingbrook for gently used/new clothes. These were the results that were posted by the American Red Cross tabulating the results of the 21 relief organizations that attended. The event was called MARC.
The clothes that we provide are clean!!
Clothes that have gone thru a tornado are unsafe to wear microscopic fiberglass and drywall get into the clothes and irritate or worse yet cause infection.
This was the tornado that hit Naperville, Woodridge and Downers Grove. Almost 500 people affected.62 homeless and one person dead. What SFS is providing clothes for the tornado families. Last night we gave away 114 clothes to six families at Compass Church Bolingbrook, IL.

Persons in our care releasing from Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF) will receive high-end, gently used clothing as they re-enter the workforce, thanks to a partnership with Suits For Success, a non-profit that donates work attire appropriate to their job searches.
So far, MSDF has received over 800 dress shirts, pants and suits for those who complete the Windows to Work program to utilize in their return to the community. Appropriate dress levels the playing field for new job applicants and increases their confidence at that first interview, helping to break the cycle of incarceration and ultimately reduce recidivism.

Thank you Wisconsin!! We are happy to help! Let us know what more we can do! All of us at SFS!
