Through the membership meeting, the Chapter donated over 1,200 items to Mercy Communities and the Illinois Department of Corrections.  Both organizations help individuals prepare for career changes. 

As a first-time recipient, Mercy Communities expressed both excitement an appreciation for the donation of professional attire and accessories!  Mercy is a transitional program supporting families in Springfield.

The Illinois Department of Corrections partnered this year and received a large donation to help individuals who are reentering the workforce.  This partner ship was led by the Springfield YMCA and is encouraged by SHRM’s Second Chance initiative.

Certificates of appreciation will be awarded to Corporate Challenge organizations during the September meeting.

Especially a big Thank You to our Corporate Challenge Members!
