Towards the end of 2016, Rodeo Realty teamed up with Assemblymember Matt Dababneh to help Farmers Insurance’s “Suits for Soldiers” program.

For an entire month, all Rodeo Realty offices in Los Angeles and in the San Fernando Valley area became drop off locations and collected donated suits to help active duty military personnel transition to civilian work and life.

Thanks to everyone’s donations and efforts, Assemblymember Dababneh collected more than 450 suits.

On Monday, many veterans were invited to the Farmers Insurance headquarters in Woodland Hills to select a gently used suit to wear for their first day on the job.

“Initially, the goal was to collect 45 suits from residents in the 45th Assembly District,” Dababneh told the Los Angeles Daily News. “However, due to the incredible amount of support from members of the community, we were able to collect over 450 suits and outfits which will benefit local veterans.”

Rodeo Realty is happy to help support veterans who have bravely served our country.

Farmers Insurance® has launched its nationwide “Suits for Soldiers” program to help active duty military personnel transition to civilian work and life.

Rodeo Realty supports its veterans and is helping Assemblymember Matt Dababneh (D-Encino) collect donated suits for the program through a clothing drive.

From October 24 to November 22, residents can stop by all Rodeo Realty offices and drop off gently used and dry cleaned suits for men and women.

The Assemblymember hopes to at least collect 45 suits through the drive.

“Many of our veterans have trouble getting or maintaining employment simply because they are missing appropriate business attire,” states Assemblymember Dababneh. “Together, we can solve this problem. That is why I encourage all Valley residents to participate in the “Suits for Soldiers” clothing drive, so we give a little back to those that have served our country so bravely.”

More than one million military personnel will be making the transition from the military in the next couple of years, according to the Department of Defense office of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, and many of these veterans may not own appropriate business attire to go to networking events, interviews or even to work. Each piece of clothing donated brings “Suits for Soldiers” closer to its goal of collecting 50,000 suits that can help create an easier transition for veterans into the civilian workforce.
