Hanesbrands is also arranging the transportation to Haiti of donated water collected by Christ Cathedral Church of Deliverance in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Hanesbrands is supporting the American Apparel & Footwear Association's Haiti-AAFA Recovery and Reconstruction Team, a task force that will provide key industry insights as relief operations continue and reconstruction planning begins in Haiti. Jerry Cook, Hanesbrands senior vice president of government and trade, will serve as co-chairman of the Recover and Reconstruction Team's steering committee.
Hanesbrands expects to return to pre-earthquake levels of T-shirt production by mid-February. The T-shirt production in Haiti is small part of Hanesbrands total production and is not expected to have a material impact on sales.
