This Thanksgiving season, the Sigma Rho chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. has demonstrated the spirit of giving by generously donating nearly a hundred suits to Jackets for Jobs, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals through professional attire and career development. Their contribution comes at a great time, as Jackets for Jobs' mission is to distribute suits, turkeys, and ties to those in need during the holidays, embodying the essence of being a blessing to Detroit men.
Jackets for Jobs has been a staple in the community for 23 years and primarily serves women, with 70% of its clients being female. Omega Psi Phi's donation will have a significant impact on the support provided to men and veterans. This reinforces their ongoing commitment to Jackets for Jobs and its noble cause.
Moreover, Detroit Mayors from Kwame Kilpatrick to Mike Duggan have all graciously donated a suit to champion the organization's mission. And the family of Detroit's first black Mayor, Coleman A. Young, has contributed to his cherished suit, adding to Jackets for Jobs' historical collection.
To commemorate these meaningful contributions and to highlight the profound effect Jackets for Jobs has had in clothing and empowering job seekers across metro Detroit, the Detroit Historical Museum will be hosting an exhibition through April 2024. Everyone is invited to witness this display of generosity and communal support.
Alison Vaughn, President & CEO of Jackets for Jobs, expressed her appreciation, saying: "We are grateful for the fraternity's support. We want to not only feed those who are hungry, but clothe them as well."
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. has a long history of influential members, including actor/rapper/former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, comedian Steve Harvey, Jesse Jackson, Radio Host Ricky Smiley, and retired NFL star Ray Lewis, just to name a few. It is the first international fraternal organization founded on the campus of a historically black college.
