Fashion Delivers and Kids in Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.) Partner to Help Oklahoma Tornado Victims

Charitable organizations Fashion Delivers and Kids in Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.) are calling on manufacturers and retailers to donate new products to help those affected by the twister that tore through the Oklahoma City suburbs, killing at least 24 people. Working together, the two organizations are assessing needs on the ground and reaching out to corporate partners to provide new clothing, including T-shirts, jeans, underwear, socks and rubber-soled shoes, as well as blankets, sheets, towels, diapers, hygiene products and furnishings for families. “Fashion Delivers and Kids in Distressed Situations are doing what we do best, mobilizing the manufacturing and retail communities to reach out and help those in need through the donation of new products,” said Fashion Delivers Chairman Allan Ellinger. “As we receive donations, we are preparing to immediately ship them to our community partners in the hardest hit areas.”
