It might not seem like a suitable place for a suit drive. But that's what California Closets of Syracuse had for the third straight year last week. The store showroom was packed with business casual or business clothing to support Jobs Plus, a Syracuse based company to help people find employment. Jobs Plus donates the clothes to people hoping to get back into the workforce.
Showroom coordinator Sophie Meskos said the drive was only one day this year as opposed to the first two years, when it took place over the course of a week. However, that was not a problem for the drive. "This was our best turnout of any year," Meskos said.
In case you missed this year's drive, don't worry, says Meskos. Donations are still accepted and appreciated at Huntington Family Center and Women's Opportunity Center Syracuse. Contact information for both companies can be found on the California Closets website - just follow the hyperlink above.
