donate clothing
Professional clothing donations are key in helping our clients look the part in their search for gainful employment. We partner with Men’s Warehouse for clothes donations during the brand’s National Suit Drive, but individuals are always encouraged to donate both men’s suits and women’s professional clothing as well.
