Superior Uniform Group’s Donation of 12,000 Garments Boosts Clothes To Kids Winter Inventory

SEMINOLE, Fla., January 26, 2012-Superior Uniform Group donated more than $120,000 worth of clothing to Clothes To Kids, providing the non-profit organization with a critical infusion of garments for the winter season. The donation of 12,864 items consisted of both long and short sleeve oxford shirts, knit shirts, tee-shirts, camp shirts, sweatshirts and jeans. Clothes To Kids is dedicated to providing a full wardrobe consisting of a week's worth of clothing to low-income, school-age children in Pinellas County, free of charge.

"Since 1920, Superior Uniform Group has helped businesses achieve a professional appearance, communicate their brand and increase employee morale." said Superior Uniform Group's CEO, Michael Benstock. "As a uniform designer and manufacturer, we understand how clothes can contribute to an individual's confidence. We are proud that we can provide garments to our county's youth and help bolster their self-esteem."

Superior Uniform Group employees previously held two clothing drives for Clothes To Kids in 2011-collecting enough gently used clothes to donate a wardrobe of a week's worth of clothing to more than 100 under-privileged students. In Pinellas County, about half of the 112,000 students, grades K-12, live at or below poverty level (Source: Pinellas County School Board) and are not able to afford to purchase school clothes.

Clothes to Kids Program Director Leslie Bednarski commented, "This is such a boost to our inventory -- especially the larger sizes that are so hard for us to keep in stock for the older larger-sized kids. It is so hard to see a child leave without clothing because we do not have garments in their size. Superior Uniform Group's generous donation will help provide wardrobes for these children."
