Men's Wearhouse and Catholic Charities launch 12th Annual Suit Drive

Catholic Charities of Corpus Christi, Inc. is partnering with Men’s Wearhouse to launch its 12th annual Suit Drive, a month-long initiative that collects gently-used professional clothing for Americans transitioning back into the workforce.

Throughout the month of July, donations collected at Men’s Wearhouse stores will be distributed to Catholic Charities of Corpus Christi and more than 150 other local non-profit organizations across the country that help disadvantaged individuals regain employment through job readiness programs and workforce assistance. Over the past 11 years, the Suit Drive has collected more than 2 million items of clothing.

 “It is a privilege to work with Men’s Wearhouse again to empower unemployed men and women to regain employment,” said Amanda Lazo, Catholic Charities of Corpus Christi. “Our mission is to provide tools and assistance to help our clients get back on their feet, and donations from the Men’s Wearhouse Suit Drive help them suit up and enter a job interview with the mindset to secure the job.” 

Starting July 1, residents of Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend can donate their gently-used professional clothing, including men’s and women’s suits, ties, jackets, shirts, pants, belts and shoes at the Men’s Wearhouse, 5425 S. Padre Island Dr., in Moore Plaza, Corpus Christi. As a thank you, donors will receive 50% off their next purchase of regular priced retail items (excluding shoes, clearance, custom and Exceptional Value items). 

"We're proud of the role our teams and stores play to lead this important national initiative," said Carrie Ask, President of Men's Wearhouse. “As we enter our twelfth year, we are thrilled to partner again with Catholic Charities of Corpus Christi to collect more donations than ever before and help men and women fulfill their goals.” 

#ThrowbackAndDonate To help drive awareness of the Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive, @menswearhouse is encouraging followers to spread the word by using #ThrowbackAndDonate 

Throwback photos are a lot like your closet. They're full of clothes you don't wear anymore. The Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive is the perfect occasion to share those photos and donate that professional clothing for a good cause. 

How it Works: Add #ThrowbackAndDonate to a throwback post, then donate the clothes at a Men's Wearhouse store. You'll get 50% off your next purchase and give someone the confidence to get their career back on track. Good on you.
