JOLIET – Ever look into your closet and bemoan that you’ve “got nothing to wear?” Imagine looking into an almost-empty closet and knowing there was nothing there to wear for a job interview or to go to work.  For some job seekers, that’s the reality. With help from those who have enough to share, there is a way to help them get back in the workforce confident about what they’re wearing.  Will County’s Workforce Services Division is looking for donations to restock its Clothes4Work clothing closet. 

JOLIET – Sunny Hill Nursing Home residents and their guests are enjoying the outdoors in a newly renovated courtyard complete with new outdoor furniture, raised garden beds and a flagpole.  It is a place where residents will be able to “continue their love” of the outdoors, as well as a gathering place, said Administrator Karen Sorbero. 

JOLIET —Will County Executive Larry Walsh said that all of the County’s facilities are open on Tuesday in the aftermath of Monday night’s storms and departments are working to keep residents safe.  In addition, for the first time, ComEd has opened its Joint Operations Center in the Will County Emergency Agency’s offices in order to better facilitate the electric company’s response to local outages.
