Lobbyist's Charity Drive = 50,000 Clothing Items
We told you in our post two weeks ago about lobbyist Dave Wenhold's charity effort, "Capitol PurSuit Drive," to be held today in the foyer of the Rayburn House Office Building from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Now, Wenhold, partner at the firm Miller/Wenhold Capitol Strategies and president of the American League of Lobbyists, reports that as of today, the drive will have collected more than 50,000 items of business attire in 6 days, valued at over $2.1 million. The items will be given to local nonprofits that assist people in getting back on their feet and into the workforce.
"This is not giving a hand out, but a hand up," says Wenhold.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi will kick off a noon press conference at the event. "If you are on the Hill (on June 2) I urge you to stop by," says Wenhold. "It makes a wonderful 'good news' story about how lobbyists and members give back. In this economy this event is critical to those in need."
For more information contact Wenhold at 703-927-1453 or by email at dwenhold@mwcapitol.com

First off it's important to remember where your clothes come from. It can be easy to forget that in this day and age with the "disposable fashion" of girls clothing in the noughties in full swing. Cheap prices and something of an over-saturation of the market put a lot of distance between the end consumer and the process of making clothes. Red Bull Clothing
