The company is donating approximately 1.5 million pair of underwear to CARE and is working with other CARE partners to sort, ship, store and distribute the goods. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is providing assistance in sorting the basic apparel for appropriate distribution and UPS is providing transportation logistics and shipping of the goods. CARE was able to accept the donation because the apparel was new and it was able to garner the support of partners to mitigate the costs of managing the distribution.
Hanesbrands is donating approximately 750,000 pair of underwear to Fashion Delivers Charitable Foundation, Inc. Based in New York, Fashion Delivers was founded to coordinate donations of new products from the apparel and home industries to aid victims of disasters.
Hanesbrands and its employees have also established a staging operation for Haiti relief supplies at the company's textile fabric manufacturing plant in Bonao, Dominican Republic. Hanesbrands employees and operations from around the world are donating goods and money and the company is purchasing supplies of water, food and basic necessities to be earmarked for the employees of the company's contract sewing operations in Haiti affected by the earthquake. Hanesbrands employees also have personally donated thousands of dollars to CARE and the American Red Cross to aid the people of Haiti.
“Hanesbrands has a culture of helping those in need that is driven by the generosity and compassion of our employees,” said Chris Fox, Hanesbrands vice president of corporate social responsibility. “We are proud of our employees who always rise to the occasion to support others in times of crisis, no matter where it is, and to continually support those in need in our communities. We thank them once again for being great community ambassadors.”
Hanesbrands would also like to thank the United States and Dominican Republic governments, the United Nations and all of the various relief agencies for supporting Haiti in this time of crisis.
