National Suit Drive for CCS

SALT LAKE CITY, — From now until Aug. 31, Catholic Community Services of Utah is partnering with Men’s Wearhouse to help disadvantaged job seekers get a boost of self-confidence during the fourth annual National Suit Drive.

"We are thrilled to partner with Men’s Wearhouse on this critical effort," said Brad Drake, CCS executive director. "Many men in Utah are still struggling to find a job as the economy slowly recovers. This suit drive will empower these men with the self-confidence that comes from looking sharp and help them stand out from the crowd of job seekers."

"With nearly one out of ten working-age men unemployed in this country, the weak economic recovery has disproportionately hurt the male workforce," said George Zimmer, Men’s Wearhouse founder and CEO. "By collecting and donating professional clothing, Men’s Wearhouse aims to help men ‘suit up’ for job interviews and give them an important boost of confidence that will help them reach their goals."

To thank donors for their generosity, Men’s Wearhouse will reward them with 50 percent off a purchase at Men’s Wearhouse and will donate a tie for every suit received. What’s more is that for every "like" on Facebook, Men’s Wearhouse will donate a $1 to the cause, up to $10,000.
