#GLGB Thanks You!

GLEN LERNER INJURY ATTORNEYS PARTNERS WITH HOPE WORKS!

Glen Lerner Injury Attorneys is supporting Hope Work’s mission by collecting donations of gently used business clothing and shoes that will benefit individuals currently being mentored by Hope Works Chicago. See below for information and Drop-off Locations.

Glen Lerner Injury Attorneys recognizes the great work done by local community organizations that day in and out tackle serious needs in their neighborhoods. One such organization making a significant impact in their local neighborhood is Hope Works Community Development.

Since 2014, Hope Works, located in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood is doing all they can to help individuals get back to work. Their staff and volunteers work one-on-one to design specific solutions to long-term unemployment in a community where 41% make less than $15,000 per year and 32% percent meet the federal standards for “severely impoverished”.

Hope Works realized early on, that local families desired to find long-term employment but lacked the access to programming that could guide them in the job search and recruitment. Hope Works believes that when a family has a steady income, it permeates to their health, their children’s education, and their overall well-being. By providing individualized mentoring, Hope Works partners with families at risk to forge a pathway from unemployment and crisis to hope and well-being.
