The Everglades University - Sarasota Campus recently partnered with Goodwill Manasota's Veterans Services program to collect business clothing and personal items for Goodwill’s Suits for Vets program. The donation drive resulted in the collection of suits and various clothing items (for men and women) as well as personal items such as deodorant, baby wipes and hand sanitizer so that veterans served through Goodwill can put their best foot forward during job interviews. At Everglades University, students, staff and faculty choose a nonprofit to support each month. The Suits for Vets charitable effort is a particularly good fit for the campus: Everglades University is a yellow ribbon school, serving many veterans who are on campus getting their education after serving our country. The partnership was cemented after school representatives visited the Veterans Services Program office several years ago and heard how Goodwill works to address critical needs of the local veteran population.
