My husband has way too many suits and rather than let them sit in the closet we'd like to donate them. I know Goodwill or Salvation Army would take them, but we'd prefer them to be used by people who need a suit to wear to a job interview or are starting a new job after being unemployed, rather than someone "thrifting" for a Brooks Brothers suit. I've donated to Dress for Success, but that organization is for women. Is there an equivalent nationwide organization for men?
We donate a lot of stuff to Goodwill, but you don't have to be poor to shop at Goodwill. I know of people who could afford to buy new stuff but they like to get deals by thrifting. I believe that in addition to providing clothing, Dress for Success helps people hone their interview skills.
I'm going to contact a homeless shelter on Monday and see if they can point me in the right direction.
she wants the suits to go to someone whose life can change because of it.... and to NOT go to someone with a good job and a half dozen suits in their closet already.
Google got me this - from the Dress for Success site...
Is there an organization like Dress for Success for men?
Career Gear provides career counseling, interview coaching, business clothing, and follow-up job support to men actively seeking employment. For more information, e-mail info@careergear.org.
Unless you're in Manhattan, you have to pay to ship your suits to Career Gear! It's a great cause, but I'm trying to find something local where I don't have to box up a suit, leave work to go to the post office, and pay to have it mailed.
