The nonprofit provides free donated suits for men who need professional dress wear but may not be able to afford it.
Landing a new job can be daunting. But one Baltimore nonprofit wants to ensure that even if job applicants don’t have the money to afford a new suit, they are still able to feel confident showing up to that interview.
As a tailor, Schafer creates custom suits for men for a living. His clients would occasionally bring in their old suits, and he realized he could address two needs at once. “There’s a great need for it. I’m a living example of it,” said John Jones. “Ten years ago, I walked into this place in jeans and a sweatshirt. And they took a before picture and an after picture. From that point on, I’ve never looked back.”
Wells pointed out the need for continued donations. She said it’s especially helpful to receive items like cufflinks, pocket squares and shoes.
