United Way of Southern Nevada (UWSN) is set to launch the 17th Annual Women United Suit Drive starting October 1. The drive invites donors to contribute gently used business attire, including suits, dresses, hospital scrubs, shoes, and accessories at various locations across the valley.
This initiative aims to support women returning to the workforce by providing them with appropriate attire for job interviews and employment. The collected items will be distributed through local nonprofits focused on return-to-work programs.
Volunteers can participate in sorting the donated suits at the Women United Suit Drive Sip & Sort event on November 6 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at UWSN’s office located at 5830 W. Flamingo Rd. During this event, volunteers will prepare the items for distribution while enjoying champagne and music.
A celebratory breakfast will be held on November 20 at Las Vegas Country Club to mark the success of the suit drive. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with community leaders and supporters. Tickets for this event start at $65.
