Luggage for Freedom
Donations of new linens, towels and personal items are being collected at Irv's Luggage
Luggage for Freedom is a program that strives to give dignity to women who are transitioning out of a domestic violence or homeless situation and residing in a shelter. Partnered with Irv's Luggage, located at 1322 S. Milwaukee Avenue in Vernon Hills, gently used luggage is packed with brand new bed linens, towels and personal items collected and donated to the shelters. The program was organized by the National Council of Jewish Women Chicago North Shore Section. Area residents can drop off new merchandise to fill the suitcases and help make a positive impact on someone's life.
Irv's Luggage was opened last summer by Renee and Pete Silverman. Renee's father founded the original Irv's in 1947. www.luggageforfreedome@ncjwcns.org, www.irvsluggage.com
