There are moments in life when a simple suit meant more than just clothing. Let me show you four of them:
Three years old. Thrift-store suit. Mom said we still had to look our best for church.
My senior photo. Suit from Goodwill. Tie borrowed from Grandpa. Confidence from Mom.
U.S. Air Force Commissioning day. Top graduate. Also, a second-hand suit.
Rookie of the Year at Schooley Mitchell. This suit wasn’t about appearance—it was about perseverance.
Each of these moments was shaped by more than the suit I was wearing. They were shaped by pride, confidence, and the belief that I was worth something. That’s what image does. It changes the way we see ourselves—and the way the world sees us.
For someone struggling—whether it’s a teenager preparing for their first job interview or a single parent rebuilding after hardship—having access to affordable, professional clothing is about more than appearance. It’s about dignity.
Goodwill stores make that possible. They don’t just generate revenue for job training programs—they provide people with the ability to present themselves with confidence. To feel like they belong. To walk into the world with their head held high. But keeping those stores open is getting harder. Rising costs in waste, telecom, fuel, supplies, and credit card processing are putting pressure on budgets and forcing tough decisions.
That’s where we can help.
At Schooley Mitchell, we support Goodwill organizations across North America by reducing operational costs—without disrupting operations or asking your team to do more with less.
That means:
To whom it may concern,
I am more than happy to be writing this letter of recommendation today on behalf of an exceptional establishment, Bar Ronin. Bar Ronin is a contemporary Japanese izakaya with a full-service bar, multiple private dining rooms, a beautiful open chef’s kitchen, and a mouth-watering menu.
Located in the heart of the West Erie Plaza in Erie Pennsylvania, Bar Ronin is a true “must-see” destination. Its private dining spaces are beautifully built and lit, making Bar Ronin an aesthetically pleasing choice for large and small events alike. The owner Dan creates dishes that are so unique and delicious, my wife and I would circle the date on the calendar just to go have an incredible meal at his restaurant when we were newly married.
When it comes to dining, it is truly the staff that makes all the difference. At Bar Ronin, their servers, bartenders, and cooks are all friendly, professional, and efficient at what they do. My organization has annual Christmas parties where they easily accommodate more than 20 of my guests and never disappoint in taste or service.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Bar Ronin for anyone looking for a new dining experience. Their food, atmosphere, and staff all contribute to making a meal at Bar Ronin a truly unforgettable experience.
Sincerely,
Adam Baker
