 Men's Wearhouse has announced their first ever National Suit Drive campaign - dedicated to empowering unemployed men by providing them with professional work attire that will build their self-esteem and make a good first impression during job interviews. Throughout the September 1 - October 31,
 2008 time period, men nationwide are encouraged to donate their gently used suits, sport coats, slacks, dress shirts, ties and belts to help other men re-enter the workforce and take back control of their lives. Men's Wearhouse, founded in 1973, is a leading specialty retailer of men's dress apparel in North America with 1,285 stores. During the National Suit Drive campaign, men can bring their professional clothing donations to any Men's Wearhouse location across the country.
The National Suit Drive will engage all 580 Men's Wearhouse stores participating and will gather and distribute clothing to more than 120 local and regional non-profit organizations in cities across the country. "Over the last decade, Men's Wearhouse has actively been working with organizations across the country to help disadvantaged men restore the confidence they need to re-enter the workforce, and we certainly know the difference a suit can make," said George Zimmer, chairman of Men's Wearhouse. "This year, we wanted to extend these efforts on a national level so we could help even more men across the country and make a difference for disadvantaged men who are taking steps toward self-sufficiency."
