History
 Dignity U Wear was founded in April of 2000 in Jacksonville, Florida, by philanthropist and Holocaust survivor, Henri Landwirth. Henri knows what it means not to have clothes – to be stripped of dignity and to give up all hope. He founded Dignity U Wear to create real change in the lives of children and adults in need. Change you can see. Change that restores broken spirits and restores hope, dignity and self-esteem. That is why we distribute only brand new clothes.
Dignity U Wear creates primary partnerships with key manufacturers and retailers who provide the new clothing, often overruns, excess inventory or seasonal items. These items are collected and warehoused. It then becomes our responsibility to give the brand new clothing to schools and nonprofit agencies serving those in need. These centers provide their list of needs and Dignity U Wear provides the clothing. To date, Dignity U Wear is the only nonprofit agency to solicit, warehouse and distribute brand new clothing nationally, at no cost to the recipients.
