A local church is helping men find work by dressing them for success.

The Christ Temple Mission Church in Lincoln held its fourth annual suit give-away today.

The event is sponsored by Encouragement Unlimited with the suits coming from Men's Warehouse.

Associate Pastor John Harris says the idea is to make men better candidates for employment opportunities by giving them a suit, shirt and a tie.

They also have resume and interview advice.

Harris says he sees a change in the men who take part the moment they suit up.

Harris says some of the left over suits will be kept for anyone who couldn't make it.

The rest will be donated to the Caplan University career closet so new grads can also suit themselves.
