Hooters Management Corporation partnered with Back 2 School Illinois to create 100 school supply kits for children in homeless shelters. Employees from Hooters restaurants all over Chicagoland including Hooters Girls, managers and the corporate office put together the school supply kits on August 17th at the Hooters of Downers Grove. Each kit contains approximately 30 supplies and will be distributed to Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS). The school supply kits will go to kids whose families are in homeless shelters managed by DFSS.

In addition to assembling the kits the employees enjoyed writing encouraging "Notes of Inspiration" to include with the supplies. "We wanted to make an impact and help children in Illinois with the core supplies that they will need to succeed as they start the new school year. It is a priority of Hooters Management Corporation and our Chicagoland area employees to partner and volunteer with local organizations that work with children and education," said Denise Williams, Hooters Management Corporation Chief Marketing Officer.

This is the second year in a row that Hooters and their employees have worked with Back 2 School and volunteered their time to prepare the school supply kits. "We are so lucky to have the support of Hooters and their amazing employees, which are so valuable especially during these uncertain times," said Matthew Kurtzman, Back 2 School Illinois Chief Executive Officer.
