Follow on Google News | Lapels Dry Cleaning of Wilmette Completes 2nd Winter Gear Drive with Connections for The HomelessBy: PR Works Starting on December 1, 2020 and running through January 16, 2021, Lapels Dry Cleaning of Wilmette, accepted donations of new and lightly used winter gear; mostly consisting of men's and women's winter coats, hats, and gloves. All totaled, Lapels Dry Cleaning customers donated around 700 pounds of clothing. "A year ago, when we were a new business to the area, we wanted to get involved in the local community. Connections for the Homeless is such a great cause it was a natural to want to help them," said Fahim Zuberi, the owner of Lapels Dry Cleaning of Wilmette. "In our second year of doing this, we couldn't be happier with the response of our customers, particularly in light of the pandemic." Connections for the Homeless serves 2,100 people annually in 52 Chicagoland communities. Those services include drop-in day-time shelters, overnight shelter, housing, eviction prevention and advocacy. Lapels Dry Cleaning cleaned all the clothing collected, which will be dispersed among people utilizing Connections for the Homeless services. "Congratulations to Fahim and the folks at Connections for the Homeless for the second very successful drive," said Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels and co-author of Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Dry Cleaning Business. "Lapels Dry Cleaning owners across the country are very active in the communities they serve, particularly during the pandemic. Lapels owners have donated clothing to local homeless shelters, donated to food pantries, donated masks, and so much more. We commend Fahim on his efforts."
