Suit Up for Success
We're excited to launch our Suit Drive for Young Professionals—and we need YOUR help!
We’re collecting new or gently used suits, jackets, ties, and tuxedos for young boys and men in our community who are preparing for milestone moments in their lives. Whether it’s for prom, JROTC balls, job interviews, or graduation, your donation can help a young man feel confident, prepared, and proud.
💼 What We’re Looking For:
- Suits & tuxedos (all sizes, clean & in good condition)
- Dress jackets & blazers
- Ties (regular & bow ties)
- Dress shirts (optional but appreciated!)
📍 Why It Matters:
For many young men, affording formalwear for these important events can be a challenge. Your donation could mean someone walks into their first job interview with confidence or steps onto the prom floor feeling like a king.
📅 How to Donate:
Donations can be dropped off at 1802-A Union St., St Joseph, MO 64501
🕒 M-F from 9 AM to 5 PM
❤️ Make a Difference:
Help us give every young man the chance to show up and shine. Your closet could hold the confidence boost someone’s been waiting for.
Questions or want to organize a group donation?
Email us at helpMidCity@gmail.com or call 816-273-5450.
Let’s suit them up for success—one jacket at a time.
