Providing Business Attire for Men in Need

Project Smile is proud to launch Suits & Smiles, a program designed to provide interview & work attire for men in need. Suits & Smiles serves men in the greater Boston, Framingham and Worcester areas. Our goal is to empower low income men to attain the jobs they need to improve their lives and become financially independent. Our program partners with various social service agencies to receive referrals for men who are in need of job interview or work attire.



We are excited to provide an important service and we need your help to ensure that only clothing in the best condition gets donated, so we can distribute it to men who need it the most. Thank you for your generosity.

Suits & Smiles

This important service is offered to men of all ages and ethnic backgrounds, including recipients of public assistance, the disabled, recovering addicts, veterans, those recently released from prison and others who face barriers to acquiring a job and retaining it.



Suits & Smiles provides a personalized styling experience where men are outfitted with professional clothes for job interviews. Men will receive individual attention from a volunteer personal stylist who will work with them to select the most appropriate clothing. Men will also receive additional attire to wear for work.

“Coming back to society isn’t easy, I know first hand. This program was a huge stepping stone for getting in the door in what’s most important, and that’s being a provider to my loved ones. My experience at this program was welcoming and the people that assisted me were sweet, understanding and knew exactly what I needed and more. Everyone deserves this and I am truly grateful. “
