Giving Back
When we started our company it was important to integrate charitable donations right from the beginning. Farr + Swit donates a portion of our sales, products, and time to local charities in the Chicago area. Please take the time to look at the spectacular organizations listed below. Thank you.
THE SCHOOL OF EXPRESSIVE ARTS AND LEARNING (S.E.A.L.)
The School of Expressive Arts and Learning (S.E.A.L.) is an organization that supports students in developing independence and real-world job skills through hands-on learning experiences.
Through the SEAL Transition Program, students gain practical workplace experience by participating in activities like running a coffee lab and assisting with real operational tasks.
At Farr + Swit, we’re proud to partner with SEAL students on projects such as product packaging and other business operations. These opportunities help students build confidence, responsibility, and valuable skills that prepare them for future employment.
Supporting organizations like SEAL is an important part of how we give back to our community.
CUBS CHARITIES
Cubs Charities mobilizes the power of sport to champion youth, families and communities. We achieve this through sports-based youth development and academic programming, investments in safe places to play and strategic grantmaking.
Our vision is to be recognized locally and globally for our collective work to encourage the love of sport and contribute to a more unified and thriving Chicago, where all youth, families and communities have an equal opportunity to achieve their highest potential both on and off the field.
NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOD BANK
A portion of proceeds from all apparel purchases are donated to Northern Illinois Food Bank.
Northern Illinois Food Bank – a proud member of Feeding America – is the source of nutritious food, innovative feeding programs, and hope for more than half a million people each year. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a goal of solving hunger in our 13-county service area, we rely on our generous donors, volunteers, and community partners – the local food pantries and feeding programs, food manufacturers and retailers, companies, foundations and individuals who join with us in our vision for no one to be hungry in Northern Illinois.
ELMHURST CHILDREN'S ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION
Elmhurst Children’s Assistance Foundation (ECAF), actively engages in transforming the lives of families within our community who are navigating the intricate challenges posed by medical or disabling conditions in their children. Our support directly translates into crucial financial aid that lightens the weight of unpaid medical bills, thereby offering respite from a burdensome load. In doing so, we provide a beacon of hope and relief, aiding these families in their journey through emotionally taxing times.
