WILL COUNTY BLACK DIAMOND CHAPTER OF TOP LADIES OF DISTINCTION, INC.
HOSTS 3rd ANNUAL HOPE IN A SUITCASE EVENT

MAY 25, 2023 – CRETE, ILLINOIS – The Will County Black Diamond Chapter (WCBD) of Top Ladies of Distinction (TLOD), Inc. will host our 3rd Annual Hope in a Suitcase event which collects new and “gently loved” luggage and overnight bags for children in foster care. In the spring of 2020, the community partnerships committee learned that many children in foster care were transporting their belongings in garbage bags when transitioning to new homes. We found that disturbing and sought to change that narrative to give children hope during a stressful time. Hope in a Suitcase provides children with a new or “gently loved” bag of their own with a luggage tag giving them a sense of pride and ownership.

This year we are excited to host our 3rd Annual Hope in A Suitcase event with our Community Partner, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, on Saturday, June 3, 2023, from 10 am-1 pm. Donations may be dropped off at the Blue Door Neighborhood Center, 11840 S. Marshfield, Chicago, IL 60643. Monetary donations to purchase luggage may be sent via Zelle to treasurer@wcblackdiamondtlog.
