Dignity U Wear

This program focuses on serving the gift of dignity to those having had suffered domestic abuse, gone through human trafficking, the homeless, or those who have lost it all due to an illness. Our goal is to help those with a much needed hand-up (not out) so they may feel more confident, connected and loved and feel so good inside and out they can land that new job. We believe even in these small gestures lives can be changed. The gift of dignity is just that important.

Serving With Dignity focuses on veterans leaving the military and reentering civilian life. Dignity U Wear truly believes the heroes in need – deserve it. Only one in 50 people at any given time is serving our country – protecting us. Less than two percent of the population is in place to defend this great nation. Often times, due to a number of reasons – PTSD, being away for so long, trying to figure out what exactly they can do, or have the skill to do and of course for other reasons, life can be hard for these heroes coming back home.

At Dignity U Wear, we want to help and this is why we established Serving With Dignity. These veterans deserve the resources needed to reintegrate into society, which can often times be difficult to navigate and seem alien after their experiences aboard, on the front lines or otherwise serving our country. We can never truly show our veterans our appreciation, but we must try.

Our veterans clothing program has three main components: Suits for Soldiers, Heroes To Work, and Helping Homeless Heroes.

• 9% of veterans are unemployed and for younger veterans, the number is even higher
• 24.3% of veterans ages 18-24 are unemployed

Dignity U Wear is honored to work with our partnering non-profit social service agencies that give returning soldiers the assistance needed. Programs include: education opportunities, counseling assistance, mentoring, job placement — and of course we are providing new clothes. The more support we can find, the more veterans we can serve.

Warriors often resist wearing appropriate business clothes and often times argue the need. When reconstructing a new life, buying a new suit isn’t always high in priority, however, the transformation once properly attired is very dramatic. The warriors carry themselves differently and feel extremely proud. New clothes help them recalibrate their hope for the next chapter.

➢ Dignity U Wear’s Suits for Soldiers - Suited for the Next Mission is designed to support veterans returning back to civilian employment who are working through educational and/or vocational training programs to better transition their military skills to a civilian work environment.

➢ Dignity U Wear’s Heroes to Work is designed to recognize that not all veterans coming back into civilian life needs a suit, so this program helps veterans who are underemployed or unemployed by supplying brand new work appropriate clothing – khakis, dress slacks, career shirts, ties, belts – that will assist in securing long-term financial stability for themselves and their families.

➢ Dignity U Wear’s Helping Homeless Heroes is designed to assist as many adult homeless veterans as possible. It is estimated that 12 percent are in fact homeless. We work to provide homeless veterans, through our agency partners, with basic necessities as they get back on their feet.
