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.
Here is Tim moments before leaving to go.
Sharing Connections is a non-profit that gives furniture, household items and a willingness to help to families in need. They are out of Downers Grove, Illinois. They give the clothes that are donated to them to Suits for Success in Naperville.
Thanks to the DuPage County Bar Association, Woodridge United Methodist Church and 4 families who made the start of 2021 most memorable. This week we collected a total of 1800 clothes, most were just cleaned and ready to be given to Logan Women's Prison, Ellsworth Women's Prison in Wisconsin and any one of 18 IDOC Men's Prisons in Illinois . There will be many parolees that are not as cold as they would have been had the people in Illinois shared of what they had.
The DuPage Co. Bar Association is collecting all of January. They are located at 126 S. County Farm Rd. Wheaton IL.
Thank you, thank you to all of our donors and volunteers
2020 was a good year for Suits For Success and we will have a better year in 2021.
Despite many of our Donation Sites being shut down and many prisons periodically on lock down we were able to deliver over 12,600 clothes. In addition to the State of Illinois DOC we opened up Wisconsin DOC, Illinois Juvenile and The DuPage County Correctional facility in Winfield. With your cash donations and clothes donations we were able to make this possible. In addition we grew our ranks of volunteers to 14.
We are now paying to clean the clothes we have donated so please keep those $$ rolling in and the insurance falls due in January 2021.
So here is to a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Our ambitious goal is to provide each new parolee with clothing appropriate to their job search.
The gift of a dress shirt, pants, nearly new casual shirt for men, or an outfit for women, can help create a better first impression in that first interview or first return home.
