Diane: (Executive Director):” I feel so privileged to be part of such an amazing organization that meets so many needs in our community. Our team (staff) is incredible! They work hard and give willingly to make our program happen. The Board of Directors consist of a wealth of seasoned business leaders providing the professional edge necessary to maintain a grassroots non- profit organization. The volunteers are an inspiration to me; it is joy to work with them every day! There isn’t a day that goes by that I am not impressed by the generosity of our community to help those in need.”

John (Operations Manager): “I enjoy being around the volunteers. They are people that come week after week, year after year with a smile and a willing attitude to help others. There are some special moments that in years to come I will always remember; like the smile on a child’s face when receiving a new pair of pants or shirt for their fist day in school.”

Lorraine (Operations Assistant): “Hi I’m Lorraine, the operation assistant. Working at the CCC is different every day. You never know what to expect although you always know there will be a smile on the volunteer faces and a thank you from our clients.”

Vickie (Project Coordinator): “Being the Project Coordinator for the CCC is the most rewarding job I’ve ever held. The satisfaction of being involved in a project, event or programs from start to finish gives me a sense of fulfillment and appreciation for what we do in the community. With the help from donors, staff and volunteers I get to see first- hand what the CCC can do for our community and it makes me proud of where I work and the people I work alongside. I feel so blessed to be able to help others and fortunate to belong to such a compassionate organization."

Jenny (Administrative Assistant): “I love being at the CCC because of the people. The staff and volunteers are wonderful to work with and I enjoy knowing that we are helping to make our clients lives a little easier.”

Patrick (Development/Outreach Coordinator): “As a recent addition to the Community Clothes Closet staff, I enjoy the privilege of being part of this wonderful group of staff and volunteers. What I love most about working here is the feeling I get from knowing how important our efforts are in improving the lives of people within our community.”

Abe (Operations Assistant): “I am drawn to the Clothes Closet because of its unique vision; it allows its clients to shop at the 'store'. And it’s all done through a few employees, many volunteers, and the many generous people and businesses of the Fox Valley and beyond.”
