At SWMW Law, our guiding principle — Because People Matter — isn’t just a tagline. It’s something our team lives out every day, in and out of the courtroom.
A perfect example of that commitment is our very own Associate, Jonathon Forbes, who recently took it upon himself to make a difference in his community. Seeing that so many residents of Madison County, Illinois, are struggling with food insecurity, Jonathon personally purchased more than 1,000 nonperishable food items with his own money to support local food banks.
During the Madison County Democratic Dinner last night, Jonathon presented his donation and issued a heartfelt challenge to the attendees: match his contribution. The response was incredible. Inspired by his generosity, others rose to the occasion, and together they doubled the total — donating more than 2,000 food items to help stock the shelves of area food pantries.
Because of Jonathon’s leadership and compassion, countless local families will have access to the food they need in the coming weeks. We couldn’t be prouder to have someone like Jonathon on our team — someone who reminds us all that when we say Because People Matter, we mean it.
