FEGS (Federation Employment and Guidance Service), a beneficiary of UJA-Federation of New York, has been operating the Suited for Work program since February ’08. The non-profit provides an interview suit, shirt and tie to low income NYC men trying to get back to work.
Suited for Work depends on donations from the menswear industry, so join companies like Peerless, PVH, VF Corp. and many others in this important mission. E-mail kzuckerman@fegs.org to inquire about making a contribution. As program participant Robert Hall says, “When you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, you do good.”
