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 owners across the country are very active in the communities they serve, particularly during the pandemic.
