FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Men's
Wearhouse announced it has collected a record-breaking number of
items for the 10th Anniversary of the National Suit
Drive, resulting in a 22% increase in donations from last year.
Throughout July, over 750 Men's Wearhouse locations across the
country collected over 320,000 articles of gently used men's and
women's professional attire that will benefit Americans in need of
appropriate interview attire as they seek to regain employment. To
date, the program has generated over 1.6 million donations since
launching in 2008.
Each year, Men's Wearhouse partners with more than 170 local
non-profit organizations across the country that help disadvantaged
individuals regain employment through job readiness programs and
workforce assistance. These local non-profit partners then
distribute the collected clothing donations to unemployed men and
women in local areas who are in need of proper interview attire and
aid individuals to prepare for their transition back into the
workforce through resume-building workshops, interview preparation
and employment training programs.
"I am impressed with the number of donations that have been
collected this year. I thank our customers and non-profit partners
who continue to make a positive impact in the communities we serve.
We look forward to another 10 years of National Suit Drive
success," said Doug Ewert, CEO of
Tailored Brands, Inc.
"The National Suit Drive is a huge success for our organization,
collecting nearly 8,000 pieces of professional clothing for our
wardrobe closet, this year alone. The quality of the donations
is impressive and that means more of our clients will soon be
wearing these suits to job interviews," said Jerri Rosen, Founder and CEO of Working
Wardrobes based in Irvine, CA.
"It's the very best of corporate social responsibility and we are
very grateful to have partnered with the Men's Wearhouse for the
past 10 years."
