Gildan Aids Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts
$200,000 worth of apparel was donated to those impacted by the storm.
Gildan shared that it has donated a total of $200,000 worth of apparel to support those affected by Hurricane Helene.
“Gildan has a strong presence in North Carolina and South Carolina, with nine of our facilities located in the region,” said Chuck Ward, president of sales, marketing, and distribution. “With our longstanding history of supporting our local communities, it was important for us to assist with the recovery efforts in the aftermath of the hurricane and provide much-needed aid for our neighbors in the Carolinas.”
Shortly after Hurricane Helene hit, Gildan’s locations in North and South Carolina provided $100,000 worth of apparel to be distributed to those impacted by the storm.
Employees also spearheaded grassroots efforts to collect and deliver essential items like water, diapers, and non-perishable food.
Gildan also donated an additional $100,000 worth of T-shirts to the Concert for Carolina, a benefit concert headlined by Eric Church and Luke Combs, which aimed to raise funds for five nonprofit organizations working directly with residents in western North Carolina.
T-shirts were available for purchase at the event and all additional funds from their sale directly contributed to essential relief efforts, providing vital assistance to families and individuals.
