The Las Vegas Rotary Club and WestCare Nevada have successfully concluded their second annual suit drive, providing professional attire to individuals overcoming significant life challenges.
The initiative, which outfitted 40 people with donated suits, has already resulted in 21 of the recipients securing new jobs.
Leo Magrdichian, a Las Vegas Rotarian and regional vice president of WestCare Nevada, said, “As a result, 21 of the 40 individuals who received suits have already secured new jobs.”
The suit drive, more than just a clothing initiative, is described as a movement powered by purpose, community, and hope.
It aims to support Southern Nevada locals in rebuilding their lives by offering professional clothing, support, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Andrew Moran, a Las Vegas Rotarian and development director for WestCare Nevada, said, “This suit drive represents the best of what happens when community partners come together. Each suit, along with a handwritten note of encouragement, offers more than a fresh start — it offers hope. It’s a true example of Rotary’s values in action: dignity, opportunity and service to others.”
Volunteers included handwritten notes of encouragement with each outfit, creating meaningful moments of hope and connection.
Magrdichian noted the impact of the drive, saying, “We’ve heard directly from recipients that this drive truly boosts their confidence—it helps them stand a little taller. Some shared that they sent photos to their parents, felt a sense of pride and even said it made them feel like an adult for the first time.”
The Las Vegas Rotary Club remains committed to service projects that create long-term impact, reflecting Rotary’s core values of dignity, opportunity, and community—one individual, one job, and one suit at a time.
