Since its start in 2010, Save A Suit has been dedicated to empowering veterans across the nation by providing them with the professional attire necessary for career success. Their mission is simple yet impactful: to equip veterans with high-quality suits and professional clothing, ensuring they have the confidence and appearance needed to secure meaningful employment and successfully transition into civilian life.
Headquartered in Connecticut, Save A Suit is deeply rooted in both local and nationwide communities. They rely on the generosity of donors from all 50 states, ensuring that each suit provided carries a story of support and gratitude. Save A Suit collects suits and professional clothing for both men and women. Their dedicated team ensures that each veteran receives attire that fits perfectly, shipping these items at no cost. Their National Suits and Salutes Program extends this support nationwide, reaching veterans as far as Hawaii and even the remote North Pole in Alaska. This program is a cornerstone of Save A Suit’s efforts to help veterans regain their confidence and find their place in the workforce.
Locally, Save A Suit hosts various events throughout the year to foster a positive and uplifting environment. These events bring together veterans and the community, celebrating and honoring those who have served our country. A recent highlight is a women’s event held in June, where more than 100 women signed up to participate in a free comprehensive shopping experience, allowing them to distribute a significant amount of clothing to women in the community.
This combined effort of local events and Save A Suit’s national shipping program allows them to provide comprehensive assistance to veterans in various communities as they navigate life after service.
How It Works:

More than 200 veterans are signing up for Save A Suit each month, which has been challenging as resources are limited. As a result, Save A Suit often struggles to provide clothing for every veteran who reaches out, despite their best efforts to meet each request. And so, they strive to raise awareness about the organization to garner more support and donations, enabling them to assist even more veterans in need. Every donation makes a significant difference, allowing them to deliver more suits to deserving veterans.
Any support — through donations or active involvement — can truly make a difference. To get involved, visit SaveASuit.org to see how you can help create lasting change in the lives of those who have served.
Save A Suit is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides veterans and transitioning service members with business suits, professional attire, and other clothing resources they need to achieve job security.
