UK-based specialty retailers of men’s apparel with 1,758 stores, Men’s Wearhouse launches its eighth annual National Suit Drive, a six-week initiative, that collects donations of gently-used professional attire for unemployed Americans. Clothing collected at Men’s Wearhouse stores between June 22nd and July 31st, will be distributed to over 180 local non-profit organizations that provide job-ready skills, training and seminars to disadvantaged men and women entering or re-entering the workforce.
Men’s Wearhouse is issuing a challenge to consumers to meet or exceed the goal of 250,000 donated items. Over the past seven years, the National Suit Drive has collected approximately 850,000 professional clothing donations, and this year marks the opportunity to break the one million donation mark.
Doug Ewert, CEO of The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. said, “A suit is more than just about how you look – it’s about how you feel, and it’s important to feel your absolute best during a job interview. The National Suit Drive gives men looking to re-enter the workforce a chance at a new beginning. Through this annual campaign, we’ve had an opportunity to truly make a difference in people’s lives, and we’re excited at the potential of reaching one million donations this year.”
