Delivering Good responds to Hurricane Harvey.

Delivering Good (formerly K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers) is working with the fashion, home and children’s industries to secure donations of new merchandise for the adults, children and families impacted by Hurricane Harvey. The charity is currently taking donations of product as well as cash to help transport the merchandise to partners on the ground who will distribute it to people in need over the next several weeks and months.

“We believe that there will be a large number of people displaced from the storm damage and the flooding that is expected to continue through this week,” says Delivering Good Chairman Allan Ellinger. “We are asking the industry to provide us with new products, as they have in so many disasters we have responded to in the past. Consumers can help us with financial donations to help defray the costs of shipping the donations to the affected areas.”

Donations of both product and money can be taken through the organization’s Hurricane Harvey webpage. Any donations of product or cash that can’t be used for Hurricane Harvey relief will be used for ongoing poverty needs.

The following merchandise is recommended for donations:

Apparel for men, women and children

• Underwear and socks for men, women and children

• Towels, sheets, blankets, comforters and pillows

• Toothbrushes, wash cloths and personal care items

“Initial donors who are supporting these efforts include shoes by Bobs from Skechers, portable cribs from Delta Children and denim from Jade Marketing Group,” Delivering Good President & CEO Lisa Gurwitch says. “We are also working with AAFA and other trade organizations to engage the industry in this humanitarian response.”

Anyone wishing to help can stay apprised of the efforts by visiting Delivering Good’s disaster link above or by following on Facebook or Twitter @DeliveringGood and on LinkedIn.
