MENLO PARK -- Robert Half International Inc. (RHI), the world's first and largest specialized staffing firm, is once again sponsoring a major suit drive to benefit Dress for Success, a nonprofit organization that provides professional attire, a network of support and career development tools for women.
The suit drive begins today and will end Aug. 27, 2010, at participating RHI offices throughout the United States and Canada.

Robert Half International branches will be accepting new or nearly new business-appropriate women’s suits, blouses, shoes and accessories, including handbags and jewelry for donation to local nonprofit organizations. For more information on the drive, visit www.rhi.com/philanthropy.
