Press Release – SEPTEMBER 29, 2016 (New York, NY) – Last month, prolonged rainfall in southern parts of Louisiana resulted in catastrophic flooding that submerged thousands of houses and businesses. The state of Louisiana continues to deal with a significant level of flooding and one of the worst natural disasters in recent years. K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers has partnered with State Representative Edward “Ted” James and the Urban League of Louisiana to help individuals and families who have been affected by this devastating disaster.
- The flooding, (both in the city of Baton Rouge, and throughout the state of Louisiana), has left thousands of people and families displaced and in need of essential items to rebuild their lives during the upcoming months.
- New product donated by the fashion, home and children’s industries will go far in helping people in need as we enter the winter months ahead.
- Individuals and families affected by the flooding can use men’s, women’s and children apparel. Towels, sheets, blankets, comforters, pillows, toys and home items are also greatly needed.
Thank you to the product donors who have already donated to help K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers make a difference in the lives of those affected by this disaster. To date we have been able to collect over $2 million of product to help those in need. Some of the key donors include:
