BILLINGS - For the first time in Billings, men had an chance to pick up some used dress clothes for free.
Men's Wearhouse has organized National Suit Drive for four years.
Since this is the first year for the store in Billings, this is the first year locally for the suit drive.
The Human Resources Development Council or HRDC gave away the suits today and Friday.
The suits will help men for their interviews, for church and for other occassions.
"It makes you feel confident about yourself," said Wayne Sneed. "It allows you the opportunity to maybe fit in better if you dress a certain way."
"It just goes to show you how just something little can make such a difference in somebody's life," said Barb Perzinski, senior program director of the HRDC.
Men's Wearhouse collected the suits in August and gave discounts to those who brought in their old "lightly worn" suits and other clothing.
The store will also give the men a shirt and tie, next month.
