I just read where Men's Wearhouse is sponsoring a men's suit drive, in September and October.
For many unemployed men, a new suit is the first step toward a second chance. During the National Suit Drive, every one of the Men's Wearhouse stores will be collecting gently used professional attire to benefit at-risk men and youth transitioning into the workforce. All clothing they receive will be distributed throughout the community by local nonprofit organizations. To read more about this program, click here.
Make it a goal to give 1 suit, or other professional clothing (belts, ties, sport jackets, etc) before the end of October.

Hey Miss Mona - as far as recycling clothes goes, the YWCA here in Bellingham has the "Back to Work Boutique." They accept work and interview appropriate clothing for women that are new or reentering the workforce. Each woman can pick out two outfits at no charge. Someone helps ensure they are work appropriate. To my knowledge, they also bring in a hairdresser once a week to cut and style hair for these women as well.
And, not sure if this is green or not, but as far as helping out some other folks... For those of you travelers that cannot help yourself and always bring home the unopened bottles of shampoo and conditioner from your hotel rooms, those little bottles make great donations for shelters and folks that are in a temporary situation. Again, here in Bellingham, the YWCA is a great place to give. cathy gault
Men's suits are staple in every mans closet.
