Many Americans are only 1 pay check away from being temporarily homeless or poor. These are hard times where everyone should support each other. On the other hand Americans are notoriously lazy. I've offered homeless people food before (rather then the money they where begging for) and have been turned down on more then one occasion. That is not to say that many American's are genuinely homeless or could have there lives changed by someone helping them off the streets, but how many are there by continued bad choices?

They are looking for donations of good, clean interview suits. Donations should be items you'd be proud to wear and not something out of style or showing wear. They accept coordinated, contemorary, interview-appropriate skirt and pant suits with matching blouses. They also welcome gorgeous blazers and jackets and new or nearly-new dress shoes. They have a special need for larger size clothes. All clothing and cash contributions are welcome and are fully tax deductible. Here is the web address to learn how to donate cash. There are also addresses where you can drop off your clothing donations.
