There were donated suits in several colors and sizes. These suits don't have a price tag. They're free and the mission they serve - some say is priceless.

Family Service of Roanoke Valley organizes the suit giveaway to help those who want to be dressed for success but can't afford to do it.

"We have people coming through who are looking for their teenage son to have (his) first suit."
