Lobbyist Promotes Charity Clothing Drive
You're going to like the way you look, David Wenhold hopes. Wenhold, president of the American Lobbying League, has teamed up with Men's Wearhouse and The Hill to promote a business clothing drive to help adults re-enter the workforce.
The event, branded the Capitol PurSuit Drive, will be held at the Rayburn House Office Building foyer on June 2 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Participants are encouraged to donate "gently used" male and female business attire. According to ALL, the drive has collected more than 44,000 pieces of business attire worth roughly $1.68 million.
Six years in the running, the charity is the brainchild of Wenhold. "The Capitol PurSuit Drive is a wonderful opportunity for the lobbying, Hill, and association communities to make a genuine difference in the lives of those in our local community who cannot afford to buy a new suit for their first interview," he said in a statement.
