WASHINGTON, December 11, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Advanced Advocacy has once again teamed up with Central Union Mission for their seventh annual Charity Suit Drive, collecting over 240 suits and various men's business attire. This initiative provides essential professional clothing to those re-entering the workforce, with ZIPS Dry Cleaners contributing by offering free dry cleaning for all donated items.

Andrew Kovalcin, Principal at Advanced Advocacy, expressed his enthusiasm for the ongoing partnership and its impact. "Over the past seven years, we have provided nearly 1,500 men’s business suits to help eliminate barriers for people entering and re-entering the workforce," said Kovalcin.

Central Union Mission's President and CEO, Joe Mettimano, highlighted the drive's substantial effect. "The Charity Suit Drive has made a significant impact on the lives of countless individuals, helping them feel confident and prepared for job interviews and other professional opportunities," Mettimano stated.

Central Union Mission extends beyond basic necessities like food and shelter. It offers transformative programs, including the Restoration & Transformation Program, focused on overcoming addictions, and the Workforce Development & Education Program, which provides employment readiness training.

Brett Vago, ZIPS founding owner and owner of five ZIPS locations, shared his pride in supporting the charitable initiative. “We are pleased to support Advanced Advocacy and Central Union Mission and honor the great work they do,” Vago remarked.
