      Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints responded by facilitating clothing for them through donations by Men’s Wearhouse and JoS. A. Bank that were coordinated by the nonprofit organization Working Wardrobes.

      The clothing was gathered, delivered by Knight Transportation and placed in a Yuba City, California, warehouse owned by Sunsweet Growers. A second suit give away was held in Chico.

      Hundreds of people took advantage of the offer to pick up suits, shirts, pants and other clothing items.
