La Cañada Presbyterian Church and non-profit organization Clothes the Deal are holding a unique event this Sunday, "Suit Yourself Day," where where anyone can donate a suit and in turn enjoy an afternoon of fun.
Clothes the Deal partners with over 85 social service agencies to distribute over 15,000 articles of business clothing to over 6,000 job seekers annually. Business clothing from the event will be distributed at a later date to individuals who have completed work-training programs throughout Los Angeles County and to LCPC Ministry Partners Door of Hope, Elizabeth House, Walter Hoving Home and Union Rescue Mission. Donations can include men's and women's suits, dresses, skirts, shirts, blouses, belts, ties, shoes and slacks. Donors will receive donation receipts.
As part of the program, CTD will “Follow the Suit,” using a special tracking method so that they can later share the stories of how donated suits benefited the recipients.
