The suits, sport coats, slacks and dress shirts being donated by Men's Wearhouse to Dignity U Wear (DUW) were sure to provide a boost to men in need. But in order to receive the donation, DUW had to find help to quickly pick up the clothes and deliver them – and that's where CSX stepped in.

Quick action by CSX facilitates the donation of brand new clothing from the The Men's Wearhouse to nonprofit organization, Dignity U Wear. Here volunteers unload boxes containing suits, sport coats, dress slacks and shirts.
CSX facilitated the transportation of three loads of clothing to the Dignity U Wear Foundation in Jacksonville at no cost to the organization. The shipment of Men's Wearhouse apparel was just the most recent in the four-year relationship between CSX and DUW, which provides brand new clothing to children and families across the country.
To date, CSX has transported 64 loads of clothing with a market value of $128,000 from apparel companies to Dignity U Wear's Jacksonville warehouse, making it one of the nonprofit organization's most significant donors. Dignity U Wear hopes that the great service CSX provides will encourage Men's Wearhouse and other apparel companies to donate on a regular basis – and allow the charity to deliver hope and dignity to more and more families in these trying times.
