FREMONT, Calif., June 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On
July 1, Men's Wearhouse will team up
with fashion expert and television personality Tan France to kick off its 11th annual Men's
Wearhouse Suit Drive, a month-long initiative that collects
gently-used professional clothing for Americans transitioning back
into the workforce.
Donations collected at Men's Wearhouse stores throughout July
will be distributed to more than 150 local non-profit organizations
across the country that help disadvantaged individuals regain
employment through job readiness programs and workforce assistance.
Over the past ten years, the Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive has
collected more than 1.6 million items of professional clothing.
France knows that a well-fitting suit offers more than great
style – it's a catalyst for looking and feeling confident. "As a
stylist, my goal is to help people be the best version of
themselves. The Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive shares this mission,
giving Americans the opportunity to put their best foot forward as
they seek employment," said France. "Each donation to the Men's
Wearhouse Suit Drive represents a new beginning. It provides a
chance to 'outfit' someone with the courage and spirit to nail a
job interview."
People can donate their gently-used professional clothing,
including men's and women's suits, ties, jackets, shirts, pants,
belts and shoes at more than 750 Men's Wearhouse locations across
the country. As a thank you, donors will receive 50 percent off
their next purchase of regular priced retail items (excluding
shoes, clearance, custom and Exceptional Value items).
"The Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive collects professional clothing,
but it collects much more than that. It gives men and women
reentering the workforce the chance to enter the room confidently
and make a solid first impression in a job interview," said
Doug Ewert, CEO of Tailored Brands,
Inc. "In a competitive job market, poise and self-assurance can be
deciding factors in who gets the job."
"Our focus is providing the tools and assistance to empower our
clients as they navigate their job search, and we're thrilled to
partner with Men's Wearhouse to fulfill this mission," said
Scott Wilderman, President and CEO
of Career Resources, Inc., one of the many nonprofit organizations
across the country that partners with the Men's Wearhouse Suit
Drive. "A positive, confident attitude is crucial in a job search.
Thanks to the Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive, our clients can suit up
for success and approach the next opportunity with the right frame
of mind to secure employment."
