As part of our Green Commitment and our broader Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, we are proud to support the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute’s “DLI Cleaners Care Hanger Recycling Program” initiative to recycle 30 million hangers in 2013, with our own pledge of 100,000 recycled hangers.

Sir Galloway Cleaners is also a proud supporter of the Woody Foundation, a 501C not-for-profit that was established to raise funds for the recovery of individuals suffering from spinal cord injuries. Read more about our involvement with the Woody Foundation, and the important work the organization is doing, on their December 2012 newsletter.

The Woody Foundation is named after Woody Beckham who was tragically injured while playing rugby for his club team at Florida Atlantic University in January 2011. Woody remains paralyzed from his injury; however, along with friends, family and local leaders, has turned his tragedy into action by establishing The Woody Foundation to raise money to assist the thousands of individuals in our community who suffer from spinal cord injuries.

 
Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS) was founded in Jacksonville in November 1902, amidst a nationwide effort to find safe and loving families for children orphaned by industrial and farm accidents, epidemics such as tuberculosis, or from complications during childbirth. At the time, no public welfare or social service agencies existed to provide financial support or housing for orphaned youngsters.

In 1920, CHS began expanding to meet the needs of Florida’s growing population, opening its next office in Pensacola. The remaining divisions were established over the next 91 years, including the Southeastern Division in Miami-Dade County which was created in 1925 to serve children and families in the County. Initially providing adoption, foster care and child welfare services to homeless children. CHS’ Southeastern Division successfully built upon its strong reputation to become a culturally competent agency with staff that reflects the population demographics of the community and who provide culturally sensitive services. CHS’ Southeastern Division services currently include: Dependency Case Management (DCM), Adoption, Pre-Independent Living, McLamore Children’s Center, Family Visitation Center, Clinical Services and Prevention/Intervention Home Visiting Programs of the Children’s Trust, such as Healthy Families Miami-Dade. Our efforts, programs and services are focused on our mission of “building bridges to success form children”.
