The Salvation Army's 614 Corps Day Shelter recently hosted a suit giveaway for the Chattanooga community to offer residents a chance to shop — at no charge — for professional attire such as suits, slacks, button-up shirts and ties.

Volunteers assisted shoppers in finding the correct clothing size as they cruised the large selection.

While some lightly used items were donated by community members, Giorgio's Men's Warehouse donated more than 300 new suits in varying sizes to help those who may otherwise not have professional clothing.
